The Cincinnati Reds lost their third straight game<\/a>, falling 10-1 to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday. <\/p>\n

Despite the loss, rookie pitcher Zach Maxwell made his Major League debut and made franchise history. <\/p>\n

“It was great,” Maxwell said. “You kind of black out when you’re out there. I just saw my family. That is what it’s really about. I threw the ball well.” <\/p>\n

He came just the fifth relief pitcher in Reds’ history to strike out five batters in his Major League debut. <\/p>\n

“I didn’t know that,” Maxwell said. “Is that good? Wow.” <\/p>\n

Maxwell gave up a solo home run in his two innings of work, but struck out five and helped save the bullpen on a night that Andrew Abbott struggled. <\/p>\n

Maxwell had a bunch of family in town to watch. <\/p>\n

“It means a lot. I just saw them. It’s like a full circle moment with everything they’ve given for me to be in this position coming to fruition and them being pumped up for it.” <\/p>\n
