After Connor Phillips struggled in game one of the doubleheader against the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday, the Reds sent him down to Triple-A Louisville after the game.

Reds manager Terry Francona spoke to the media after the game about the decision.

“He’s just not throwing enough strikes," Reds manager Francona said. "We’re trying like crazy to kind of work with him on the running game and things like that. Because he’s blessed with a really good arm and he can spin it. But until he starts throwing the ball where he wants it, it can be a struggle."

“The other day, he did great. He’s just got to follow it up and be a little more consistent.”

Phillips has elite stuff, but he is simply not throwing enough strikes and walking too many batters.

If Phillips can work on his command, we will likely see him again at some point this season.
