Brandon Finnegan vs. Kyle Davies


Brandon Finnegan gets his first start in a Reds uniform, after a couple of relief appearances out of the pen. Quick, go read Wick's preview of his start if you haven't already.

It's worth noting that the Reds haven't had a pitcher go 5 innings since Raisel Iglesias last Sunday, and haven't had a quality start since last Saturday.

He'll face Zach Davies for Milwaukee, who I have never heard of.

Go Reds!
