Alfredo Simon rolled over the Mets in his first start of the season, allowing just one run on four hits in the Reds' 2-1 win Sunday. After not starting a game since the 2011 season, the Reds decided to prepare Simon as a starter this spring given the injury to Mat Latos. The team may rethink returning Simon to the bullpen after he limited the Mets to four hits and a walk while striking out six over seven innings. Even with Latos' return on the horizon, Simon should get at least one more start to convince management he should stick in the rotation, most likely next week against the Rays.
