Cincinnati Reds left-hander Tony Cingrani, making just his third Major League start, accomplished a rare feat on Sunday afternoon.
He became the fifth Cincinnati pitcher to strike out four batters in an inning. Cingrani struck out Denard Span, who reached first base when the ball got by catcher Corky Miller. The lefty then shut down Bryce Harper, Ian Desmond, Adam LaRoche.
Cingrani also tied a career high with nine strikeouts and got his first Major League hit against the Washington Nationals.
