ARLINGTON – Brandon Finnegan enjoyed sleeping in his own bed for a few days when the Cincinnati Reds were in town for a couple of games last week. The former Southwest High School and TCU left-hander makes his full-time home near the Mira Vista Country Club in southwest Fort Worth.
“This is my home. I was pumped to get to stay here the past few days,†said Finnegan who made his 16th start for the Reds on Saturday against the Padres. He was the tough-luck loser after allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over 6  2/3 innings. The loss dropped him to 3-6 despite a 3.83 ERA in 94 innings.
