Alfredo Simon allows four runs over seven strong at Coors, Reds take series
by Justin Elick | Fri, Jun 3rd 9:56am EDT
Simon produced one of the more unlikely lines of the season, allowing four earned runs on five hits over seven innings of work at the hitter's paradise of Coors Field. He struck out six and walked three while throwing 111 pitches. The Reds offense provided him with plenty of support, tagging Eddie Butler for eight runs in just four innings. The Reds tacked on a few more late, winning 11-4 and winning a road series for the first time this season.
Fantasy Impact:
Simon's numbers are still an eyesore, with a 8.94 ERA and 1.92 WHIP, but he produced at just the right time in this one. The Reds have now won four of their last six road games after starting the season 3-18 away from home. Simon can remain on your league's waiver wire. His next start is scheduled for Wednesday against St. Louis.
