- Jay Bruce cf
- David Ross c
- Edinson Volquez p
The Reds haven't hit Duke well in the past, except for Dunn. But the offense has been doing much better over the last 3 games (.291/.387/.534). Hopefully it's a sign of a turnaround for the bats.
Volquez was hit a little hard in his last start against the Blue Jays. I'm calling it an aberration. He'll be back on track tonight. A win tonight will give the Reds just their second 4-game win streak of the season.
Look for big days from Joey Votto (yay!) and Jason Bay (boo!) today. It is Canada Day, eh!
