Death, Taxes, and Brandon Nimmo getting on base. Those are three things guaranteed in life. With Juan Lagares, Jay Bruce, Yoenis Cespedes, and Michael Conforto dealing with some sort of injury in camp, Nimmo has seemingly picked up right where his 2017 season ended.

Making his major league debut, Steven Matz was spectacular. He fired 7.2 solid innings while allowing just two runs on two solo home runs. With his explosive mid 90’s fastball and devastating curve, Matz’s stuff was electrifying. He kept the Reds’ lineup off-balance all day, and he was able to remain poised and focused after giving up a lead-off home run in the first inning to...
