Aguiar allowed six runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out one over four innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Aguiar allowed three home runs, including two to Lawrence Butler. This was the worst of Aguiar's first three major-league starts, though this was his first start at home in Cincinnati's hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park. Aguiar now has a 6.43 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 7:4 K:BB across 14 innings. The Reds have dealt with a significant number of injuries to starting pitchers this year, so Aguiar has a chance to stick in the rotation over the final month of the season. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Astros.
