Alfredo Simon improved to 3-1 in Wednesday's start as the Reds defeated the Reds 5-2. Simon allowed two runs on four hits and five walks while striking out four. In three starts entering Wednesday, Simon had walked four total, so it was odd to see him so spotty with his command. His ERA also rose to 1.30. Simon has been a welcome addition to the Reds' rotation and will look to continue his success against the Cubs at home in his next start.
