They're together again. This is where it all started for Bronson. (Well, not here... PNC didn't open until 2001. Still.) He's faced his former squad five times, and the results are pretty similar to his career numbers. He last pitched against them at PNC last season when it didn't matter and had a great game, striking out six and allowing just one run until the ghosts of Felipe Lopez and Austin Kearns struck again.
As Alan pointed out, Snell was not stellar against the Reds last season, going 1-3 with a 5.92 ERA. Here's his breakdown against current Reds players over their careers.
