Reds' Robert Stephenson: Only lasts four innings in finale

Stephenson left Sunday's start after allowing two runs over four innings, giving up four hits and five walks, striking out four.

Analysis:

In eight big league starts, Stephenson finished with a 6.08 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 37 innings. He really struggled with his command and pitch selection, which led to 19 walks over 37 innings, and nine homers allowed. Many of those homers came after he fell behind, failing to locate his fastball. It's not a sure thing that he'll begin 2017 in the majors.
