Brady Singer became just the second pitcher in Cincinnati Reds history to toss seven or more innings of shutout ball in his team debut. The first guy was Tom Seaver, but how did Seaver follow up his performance in his second start?

Singer to Seaver was not the comparison I expected to make when the Reds acquired the right-hander for Jonathan India this offseason. Here we are, though. Singer is set to make his second start in a Reds uniform so I figured it was a good spot to look at Seaver’s second start in a Reds uniform.

Seaver followed his complete game shutout with eight innings of good pitching in a loss. He allowed three runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and two walks. The Dodgers tagged him more than the Expos did, that’s for sure, but it was still a good line.

I don’t expect eight innings out of Singer, but hey, that’d be fun! Singer just needs to pitch a quality start and the vibes will remain immaculate surrounding this 28-year old righty.

The Reds play the Brewers at 8:10 p.m. ET on Friday night.
