MLB.COM First start back from surgery a win for Bailey By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | July 31st, 2016 SAN DIEGO - Homer Bailey isn't the sentimental type, which didn't change during Sunday's long-awaited 2016 debut. But the Reds veteran starting pitcher certainly appreciated what it meant to return from Tommy John surgery on his elbow and 15 months of rehabilitation. Bailey earned the win with his solid performance in Cincinnati's 3-2 victory over the Padres. He threw 5 2/3 innings, allowing two earned runs, four hits, three walks and had six strikeouts while throwing 89 pitches. "It was great to be back out with your teammates when you've been watching them for about a year-and-a-half and wanting to be out there. To see those guys, I know how they've always had my back," Bailey said after his first big league start since April 23, 2015. Bailey's first inning wasn't a clean one with three hits, but none were very hard contact - two groundballs and a soft liner. Following Jabari Blash's two-out single in the first, Bailey essentially had his way with San Diego while retiring the next 14 batters in a row. "For the next four innings, he was really locked in," Reds manager Bryan Price said. That included a nine-pitch third inning and striking out the side in the fourth.

He didn't have the best command of his pitches, but he battled to limit the Braves to a pair of runs in the Reds 8-1 loss on Sunday at SunTrust Park. Castillo was clean during his first trip through the Braves' lineup. However, he quickly accelerated his pitch count as the Braves fouled off some quality pitches. He also ran into some trouble in the third inning as he allowed two runs on a double by Braves outfielder Nick Markakis that split the gap in right field. "I didn't have my best stuff today, but I went out there and competed," Castillo said through an interpreter. "I made my mistakes and I paid for it." Although he took the loss in his shortest start of the season, Castillo made sure to keep the Reds in the game. He limited the Braves to four hits and racked up eight strikeouts, five of which came in the first eight batters of the game. "I went out there and did the best I could to go deeper in the game," Castillo said. "After that mistake, I think I pitched really well." According to Statcast™, Castillo balanced his two-seam fastball, which topped out at 97 mph, with a strong changeup inside to right-handed hitters.

  • 'Wild Thing' Legend – but Williams Loaded the Bases with Hits In
    They print ‘Wild Thing’ legend – but Williams loaded the bases with hits in ’89 Cubs opener By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, January 31st, 2013 In an explanatory scene from John Ford’s “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance,” a pundit explained why James Stewart’s acclaimed title feat, which he didn’t do, was firmly en- trenched in history.
