Prior to Wednesday's start Raisel Iglesias was supposed to come up, start the game and then go back to Triple-A.

But then, the game happened.

Iglesias was brilliant as he allowed one run in eight innings and notched his first Major League win.

While the Reds were hoping for a quality performance from Iglesias, he may have exceeded their expectations with the dominant effort.

Now, it was just one start, but after a start like that it's hard to send a player back down to the Minors, so what will the Reds do?

"Yeah, there is a scenario [where Iglesias stays], and we're discussing it," Reds manager Bryan Price told Reds.com. "The only thing we have to be aware of with all of our young pitchers is the innings they're going to be able to tackle over the course of the year."

It sounds like the Reds are seriously considering keeping Iglesias in Cincinnati, but if they do he will likely be on sort sort of pitch or innings limit.
