News: Belisle allowed only four hits in his 2007 debut on Friday, earning the win in the Reds' 6-1 victory over Pittsburgh. The 26-year-old right-hander retired 14 straight batters in the middle innings. Impact: Belisle threw 73 strikes in 105 pitches, working fast to keep the players out of the cold weather as much as possible. "He's done everything we asked," manager Jerry Narron said. "Tonight, he was trying to get outs as quickly as he could and get guys off the field and back into the dugout." (STATS - Sat. Apr 7, 2007 )
