For two nights, a trait of the Cincinnati Reds offense was on display. Patience is their practice. Just one major-league team is swinging at a lower percentage of pitches faced this season, per Baseball Savant.

HOUSTON — Ronel Blanco struck out a career-high 11 in eight innings and Shawn Dubin completed the two-hitter to lead the Houston Astros to a 6-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. Yainer Diaz hit a three-run homer in the third to give Houston an early lead and Christian Walker added two hits and three RBIs to help the Astros take the series 2-1.

He’d record just one out before getting pulled for allowing seven runs after walking three batters and letting up three hits (including a home run). After the game, McCullers reportedly had to deal with death threats to him and his children from critics all over the world.

Houston pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. received online death threats directed at his children after his tough start against the Cincinnati Reds.
