Sal Romano fires 8 walkless, hauntless innings, Reds beat Pirates 2-1
The rookie righty was dominant on Saturday. The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game Sal Romano has a 4.07 ERA in this, his age 23 season. That’s right.

That...

Anyhoo, Cincinnati will look to out-baseball the baseballing Pirates on Saturday beforemidnight, continuing on the dinger barrage they unleashed on Chad Kuhl & Co. on Friday night. Go Reds. Do the baseball.
