The Reds try to rebound tonight and claim the "Ohio Cup" for 2013. After winning the two-game series against the Tribe in Cincinnati, Bronson Arroyo got lit up for 5 runs last night in the loss.
Homer Bailey takes the ball tonight hoping to build on his impressive start to the 2013 season. In 7 of his 10 starts this season, Bailey has allowed 2 runs or fewer. Some might be worried about his workload, having averaged more than 112 pitches over his last three start. It would be a good time for Bailey to have a low-pitch-count, easy effort tonight. The Indians counter with Scott Kazmir. Sporting an ERA around 6, Kazmir has been pretty terrible for Cleveland. He has yet to pitch more than 6 innings in a game this year and he's putting runners on base far more than a pitcher should. You have to like this match-up for the Reds.
The 'pen is in good shape, at least from a workload perspective.
Go Reds!
