Tyler Mahle is officially a major leaguer.

The Reds rookie pitcher threw five innings, allowing three runs on four hits and four walks with five strikeouts. He also collected his first major league hit.

You made it, @tylermahle.

👏

Final line in the righty's debut.

The Pirates won 5-2, but Mahle showed enough potential to entice Reds fans desperate for another young starter to join Luis Castillo in the rotation.
