Alfredo Simon struggles again, gets ejected in Reds' comeback win
by Justin Elick | Sun, May 29th 11:46am EDT
Simon allowed three runs (two earned) over four-plus innings of work on Saturday. He allowed three hits, walked two, and struck out just one. He was hit by a Chase Anderson pitch in the fourth inning, then was promptly ejected in the fifth after hitting Anderson in the shoulder with a pitch. He declined comment on whether the pitch was retaliation for being hit in the previous inning. Meanwhile, the Reds fell behind 6-1 and looked well on their way to their 12th consecutive loss before tagging reliever Michael Blazek for five runs in the seventh innings. Things got even crazier as an overturned double-play gave the Reds the go ahead run in the ninth inning of a 7-6 win.
Fantasy Impact:
As you likely know by now, Simon isn't a pitcher who should be on your radar in any league. He owns a 9.60 ERA and 2.06 WHIP on the season along with just a 28/19 K/BB over 40.1 IP. Leave him on the wire and stack against him whenever you can. If you didn't think things could get worse for the big right-hander, his next start comes on Tuesday at Coors Field. Bombs away.
