Petty dominated his last start with Louisville, allowing one hit over six scoreless innings last Wednesday. He struck out seven and walked two in a 1-0, 11-inning victory over the Iowa Cubs.<\/p>\n<p>The Reds acquired Petty, a first-round pick by the Minnesota Twins in 2021, in the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2022\/03\/13\/sonny-gray-traded-to-the-minnesota-twins\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">2022 trade<\/a> that sent right-hander Sonny Gray to Minnesota. Gray, now a member of the Cardinals, will be at Great American Ball Park for Petty&#8217;s debut Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Petty is known for his fastball that can reach 100 mph. He can still throw in the high 90s, but is more of a sinker\/slider pitcher now.<\/p>\n<h3>Petty\u2019s Debut Helps Reds Manage Busy Stretch<\/h3>\n<p>Winners of five straight, the Reds have a scheduled off day Thursday between series in Miami and Denver. After that, however, they won\u2019t get another break until May 12\u2014a stretch of 13 consecutive games. Promoting Petty for Wednesday\u2019s doubleheader allows the team to keep the rest of the rotation on schedule. Left-hander Andrew Abbott, originally slated to pitch Wednesday, is now likely to start Thursday\u2019s game against the Cardinals. That move would push right-hander Hunter Greene to Friday for the series opener against the Washington Nationals.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo: \u00a9 Mark J.
