Brandon Cumpton held the Reds to two runs -- one earned -- over five innings of work in a no-decision on Thursday. | ||||||
Cumpton scattered five hits (including a solo homer by Jay Bruce) against one walk and five strikeouts. It's not clear if he'll get another turn in the rotation, but he has done a nice job as a fill-in option. Keep an eye on his status in NL-only leagues. | ||||||

Brandon Cumpton will remain in the Pirates' rotation for a start on Thursday in Cincinnati. | ||||||
Cumpton carried a no-hitter into the fourth inning in his major league debut Saturday but wound up allowing three runs over five frames. He has a pretty good arm but would be a risky play for fantasy owners at Great American Ball Park. | ||||||

Brandon Cumpton allowed three earned runs over five innings Saturday in the Pirates' loss to the Dodgers. | ||||||
It was the 24-year-old right-hander's major league debut and he looked pretty good, carrying a no-hitter into the fourth inning and finishing with five strikeouts against one walk. Pittsburgh lost in extras. Cumpton may be worth a try in an NL-only fantasy league if he gets to take another turn in the Pirates' starting rotation. | ||||||
