This was all Dylan Moore’s fault, as he homered twice and singled off the Reds left-hander. Lodolo struck out six and allowed just two singles and one walk to the rest of the Mariners lineup. He’s still off to an excellent start with his 2.31 ERA, and he might be able to go the entire rest of the year without facing Moore. He’ll get the Orioles next.

The Reds pitching staff blanked the Giants for the second straight day. This time it was Lodolo with an impressive start, going six shutout innings. He scattered three hits and one walk while striking out three batters. The 27-year-old left-hander has produced a 0.96 ERA, 0.70 WHIP, and an 8/1 K/BB ratio across 18 2/3 innings over three starts. He’ll take on the Mariners in Cincinnati next Tuesday.

The 27-year-old left-hander struck out four on the night and didn’t walk a batter. The only run that scored against him came in the fourth inning as Jackson Chourio doubled, advanced to third on an error and scored on a Sal Frelick RBI single. Unfortunately for Lodolo, the Reds’ offense couldn’t provide him with a single run of support in this one. He generated eight swings and misses on 82 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 24 percent. He’ll look to get back in the win column as he carries a stellar 1.42 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and a 5/0 K/BB ratio (12 2/3 innings) into Tuesday’s matchup against the Giants in San Francisco.

Justin Verlander matched Lodolo for five, but the Reds pulled ahead in the sixth and hung on from there. Lodolo won despite striking out just one and giving up eight hard-hit balls, including a Wilmer Flores homer. It all worked out against a below average offense, but he’ll probably need to be a little better next time out against the Brewers.
