Reds reliever Aroldis Chapman kicked things up a notch in his second major league appearance. The fireballing Cuban defector, who wowed fans in Cincinnati during his major league debut Tuesday by hitting 103 mph, picked up the first win of his career Wednesday. He also pushed his velocity up to 104 mph twice, according to MLB.com's Pitch F/X readings.
Chapman entered the game in the seventh inning with the Reds down 1-0 to Milwaukee, and he dazzled again, throwing nine strikes in 11 pitches and fanning a pair of Brewers in a 1-2-3 frame.
Of those 11 offerings, seven were fastballs. Two came in at 104 mph, four at 102 and one at 99.
In the bottom half of the seventh, Chapman's teammates broke out the bats, scoring six runs to put him in line for the win. Nick Masset and Francisco Cordero followed in the eighth and ninth, respectively, with two scoreless innings of relief for the Reds to seal the 22-year-old left-hander's first victory.
Cincinnati won by a final score of 6-1 to put the Reds eight games ahead of the Cardinals in the NL Central before a critical series between the two clubs over the weekend in St. Louis.
Reds manager Dusty Baker joined The MLB Hour this week to talk about Chapman and the NL Central race. Click below to watch:
