Simon allowed four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six over seven innings in a win over the Rockies on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Three of the five hits against Simon left the park, but two were solo shots, and the Reds' hitters gave him plenty of support against right-hander Eddie Butler. It was a successful outing by Simon's standards, but he's far too blowup prone to be a mixed-league option. He's barely on the fringes of NL-only consideration.
