Reds' Parris loses arbitration case

---

Pitcher still gets million-dollar raise

The Associated Press

        TAMPA, Fla. — Steve Parris lost his salary arbitration case against the Reds on Thursday and will get $1.4 million instead of his request for $1,825,000.

        The 32-year-old right-hander made $275,000 last season, when he went 11-4 with a 3.50 ERA — all career bests — in 21 starts and one relief appearance.

        After failing to make the team during spring training — he was the last pitcher cut — Parris was brought up May 3 and became one of the Reds' most effective starters.
