Entering the game with the worst ERA in the National League and facing three-time Cy Young winner Max Scherzer, the Cincinnati Reds pitching struggles easily could have continued Tuesday against the Washington Nationals.
Instead, it was Tyler Mahle delivering a solid outing with 5 1/3 shutout innings as he and Tejay Antone, Amir Garrett and Lucas Sims combined to allow one run on four hits and outduel Scherzer and the Nationals 2-1.
The Reds, who had lost six of their previous seven games, will try to continue to reverse their recent losing trend when they face the host Nationals again on Wednesday night in the second of three games.
