Works four scoreless

Lodolo allowed three hits and one walk while striking out six over four scoreless innings in Thursday's spring start against the Athletics.

Analysis

Lodolo was at his best in his third Cactus League start. He was aided by a runner getting thrown out at the plate in the fourth inning, but other than that, the left-hander cruised through 66 pitches (41 strikes). He then got in additional work in the bullpen. Reds manager Terry Francona was particularly pleased with Lodolo's curveball, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. Lodolo has a 3.12 ERA with nine strikeouts over 8.2 Cactus League innings.
