Cody Reed battled Ferguson Jenkins Jersey , but the bats couldn’t back him up."On a day when Chicago Cubs starter completely mowed through the Cincinnati Reds offense, it was at least encouraging to see that Cody Reed just continues to get a bit better and better by the outing.On Saturday, Reed fired 5 innings of scoreless ball, allowing just a lone walk and a pair of hits in the process. His pitch count got elevated quickly - largely because he was busy striking out 10 Cubs in the process - but his 91 pitch outing was certainly the high point of his big league career to date.Considering that we’ve just found out that both Lucas Sims and Tyler Mahle are likely out for the remainder of the season with shoulder issues, it’s encouraging to finally see this kind of largely dominant performance from one of their other young arms. Congrats, Cody, and here’s to making it the first of many more good ones to come.Honorable Mentions are due to: Jose Peraza http://www.rangersfanproshop.com/authentic-matt-moore-jersey , who had another 2 hits and a stolen base; Joey Votto, who singled and walked; and Jared Hughes, who fired another scoreless inning with a pair of Ks.Key PlaysWillson Contreras singled into RF off Sal Romano in the Bottom of the 6th, and that scored Javier Baez. That’s it. That was the offense, and the Reds fell, 1-0.Tony GraphaninoSource: FanGraphsOther NotesSpeaking of those shoulder issues for Sims and Mahle, Mark Sheldon has more on those over at Reds.com. Sims Ryan Rua Jersey , it appears, had an issue flare up in his last outing and is now dealing with the same issue as one of Brandon Finnegan’s 2017 issues, which is no bueno. Mahle, fortunately, appears to just be dealing with ‘fatigue.’These two clubs will tussle on Sunday for the final time in 2018, and will do so with Jose Quintana and Luis Castillo starting, respectively. First pitch is set for 2:20 PM ET.Tunes. Maple Maddux is healthy Drew Robinson Jersey , and will reportedly make his return to Atlanta on Thursday."The Braves pitching staff has been in constant turmoil to begin the 2019 season, with a multitude of moves being made to shuttle arms back-and-forth between Atlanta and Gwinnett. Reports indicated early this week that the Braves were undecided on their starter for Thursday, but a decision has reportedly been made according to Mark Bowman, who notes that Mike Soroka is the likely choice after being scratched from his scheduled start in Gwinnett on Wednesday:The return of Soroka is encouraging, as injuries have hampered the right-hander thus far in his young career. Soroka will pitch the finale of a three-game series against the Diamondbacks.UPDATE - Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos confirmed that the team has Mike Soroka lined up to make the start in Thursday’s series finale against Arizona but stopped short of making a formal announcement. Said a final decision and roster move would likely come following tonight’s game.
