With rotation crunch looming, rookie strikes out 10 in five innings; Profar, Hosmer homer; Rogers earns seventh save
There was drama at the end, as Taylor Rogers had to come in and throw one pitch for the final out, retiring Jake Fraley on a fly ball to right field with runners on first and second.
Nick Martinez, who starts Thursday’s series finale here with the Padres needing a win to complete a six-game season series sweep, is up next. The Padres have discussed going with six pitchers for one time through the rotation, beginning next week. However, it is not anticipated they will use six starters longer than that. They are off May 12 and again May 16. They don’t want their starters going six days or more between starts, and their starters don’t want that either.
Wednesday’s performance, in which he yielded five hits and walked two, may not have set Gore apart definitively. But even as the Reds prolonged numerous at-bats, he appeared strong to the end, throwing more strikes late and hitting 97 mph to finish off his final strikeout.of the night, Joey Votto grounded out to first base to put the rookie in line for the win.
