Brady Singer allowed three earned runs over five innings while striking out six and walking five, earning the loss on Friday against the Orioles.

Singer ran into some trouble early in the first inning, allowing three of the first five batters he faced to reach base, with Gunnar Henderson coming around to score on a throwing error by Tyler Stephenson as Henderson was trying to steal third. It would be the only run Singer would allow in the inning, but after pitching a scoreless second inning, Singer fell victim to a two-run homer by Samuel Basallo, who pushed the Orioles’ lead to 3-0 in the third. Singer would settle in after the blast by Basallo, but the damage had been done and the Reds offense mustered only four hits against Trevor Rogers and the O’s bullpen. His next start is scheduled for Thursday at home against the Phillies.
