Tyler Mahle Vying To Keep Starting Gig
4 years agoCincinnati Reds starting pitcher Tyler Mahle took over a rotation spot with Wade Miley landing on the injured list, and he'll look to prove he belongs there in Tuesday's matchup versus the Indians. The Tribe has gotten off to a slow start offensively this season as they sit second-last in both BA (.181) and OPS (.532) versus right-handers. They've also struck out at an alarming 25.2% of the time, making Mahle a sneaky streamer on Tuesday. His counterpart isn't ideal with Shane Bieber toeing the rubber for the visitors, but perhaps the talented competition will elevate the 25-year-old's performance.
