Impressive in no-decision Lowder did not factor into the decision Thursday against Houston, allowing four hits and four walks over 6.1 scoreless innings. He struck out three.

Impact Lowder got through the first six innings clean before getting into trouble in the seventh but got bailed out by his bullpen. The 22-year-old picked up his first quality in his second career start. Lowder has thrown 10.1 innings and allowed just one earned run over his first two career starts. He's the second Reds pitcher over the last 20 seasons with 10 or more innings and no more than one earned run over his first two career starts.

Staying in rotation Lowder is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Astros in Cincinnati.

Impact The 22-year-old right-hander will stick around with the big club for at least one more turn through the rotation after making his MLB debut this past Friday versus Milwaukee in the second game of a doubleheader. He struck out six batters across four innings against the Brewers, giving up one earned run on two hits and four walks. Though he issued four free passes in his debut outing, control had been a strong suit for Lowder across his three stops in the minors this season, as he had walked just 5.4 percent of the batters he faced.

Falls to Brewers in debut Lowder (0-1) took the loss Friday against Milwaukee, allowing a run on two hits and four walks over four innings. He struck out six.

Impact Lowder struggled with command a bit in his big-league debut, though the right-hander showed flashes of potential that made him the seventh overall pick in 2023, generating 10 whiffs in just four innings. The 22-year-old Lowder, who made just one start in Triple-A prior to his call-up, pitched to a 3.64 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP and 113:24 K:BB in the minors this year. Lowder would line up for a road matchup with the Mets in his second start.

Added to roster ahead of debut The Reds selected Lowder's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

Impact Lowder is set to make his major-league debut in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Brewers. The No. 7 overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, Lowder has collected a 3.64 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 113:24 K:BB over 108.2 innings across three levels in 2024 and just made his Triple-A debut last week. He's now set for his major-league debut and should be given an opportunity to stick in the Reds' rotation for the remainder of the season.

Making MLB debut Friday The Reds plan to call up Lowder from Triple-A Louisville to start the second game of Friday's doubleheader versus the Brewers in Cincinnati, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic repo...

Impact Though Lowder just made his Triple-A debut this past Thursday, the Reds will expedite the right-hander's arrival to the majors while the big club contends with numerous injuries to its rotation. Should Lowder hold his own in his debut Friday against the division-leading Brewers, he'll likely be in store for additional turns through the rotation in September. The No. 7 overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, Lowder, 22, owns a 3.64 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 113:24 K:BB over 108.2 innings across three minor-league stops in 2024.

Impressive debut at Triple-A Lowder allowed three runs while striking out seven over six scoreless innings for Triple-A Louisville on Thursday, Jesus Cano of MLB.com reports.

Impact Lowder made his debut at the highest level, his third tier in the minors, and made a strong first impression. MLB veteran backstop Tucker Barnhart guided the 2023 first-round draft pick, who noted Triple-A hitters don't chase as much as batters at the lower levels. "He's never caught me, so we laid out my stuff, and he went over the hitters and quickly got on the same page," Lowder said. "It was awesome having him call pitches back there." There's room on the Bats' schedule for the right-hander to make another five starts, if the organization chooses to push him. Lowder already has 108.2 innings under his belt and is approaching the career maximum of 120.1 he threw in 2023 while at Wake Forest. Whatever the Reds decide, Lowder is set up to open 2025 at Louisville with the potential to reach Cincinnati.

Moving up to Triple-A Lowder has been promoted from Double-A Chattanooga to Triple-A Louisville.

Impact It will be the third level this season for Lowder, who is slated to make his debut for Louisville on Thursday. A first-round pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, Lowder struggled initially upon his promotion to Chattanooga but had collected a 1.06 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB over 34 frames covering his last six starts. Overall, he holds a 3.86 ERA and 106:24 K:BB in 102.2 innings this season.

Improvements on display at Double-A Cincinnati pitching coach Derek Johnson noted Friday that Lowder has improved his breaking ball since being promoted to Double-A Chattanooga, C. Trent Rosencrans of The Athletic re...

Impact In addition to the improved breaking ball, which Johnson described as a sweeper, Lowder is figuring out how to pitch to lefties. The breaking ball, in conjunction with the right-hander's changeup and two-seamer, helps in that area. Lowder initially struggled after his promotion, but he's shown improvement in the second half. Lowder, who threw seven innings of one-run ball in his previous start Wednesday, owns a 1.06 ERA and 0.79 WHIP over his last six starts.

Turns it around at Double-A Lowder logged a no-decision Thursday, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out five over five scoreless innings for Double-A Chattanooga.

Impact Lowder weathered a rough beginning after a promotion from High-A Dayton, pitching to a 7.15 ERA in his first eight starts (34 innings), but the young right-hander has turned it around. The 2023 first-round pick has a 2.23 ERA over the subsequent seven outings over 36.1 innings.
