Nothing really. He is who he is and they're still learning about Spiers. If his last outing is the outlier, then he's clearly earned the 5th spot over Ashcraft. If his last outing is the norm, then they'll find that out soon enough and keep looking. Williamson is still a question mark and Connor Phillips is still trying to find the strike zone.
2-0 in the middle of the 5th with a nice catch by Hinds for the 2nd out . . . gotta work on them nerves with the throws, though. Abbott with 5 shutout innings and 7 Ks. He looks like he has a couple more innings in him despite the two walks in the 5th.
It's nice to see the Reds capitalize on poor play by the opposition for a change instead of it being the other way around. I was getting tired of them turning another guy with a 5.5 ERA into Cy Young.
