Widener allowed four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out seven over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against the Reds on Thursday.

He gave up homers to Jesse Winker, Nick Castellanos and Eugenio Suarez, but the last two came in the sixth inning as Widener tired, and this start did come in the homer-friendly Great American Ball Park. After fanning seven with only one free pass, Widener now has an 18:6 K:BB in 22.1 innings this season, lending some credence to his 2.82 ERA. The right-hander lines up to face the Padres at home next week.
