Reds at Brewers, Game 1 - News, Pitching Matchup, Lineups

To say that this series is important is a huge understatement, obviously. The Brewers have been the class of the NL Central, and they can pretty much lock up the division with a sweep in this series. Despite a stretch where the Reds have won 8 of their last 11, they still find themselves 7 ¹⁄₂ games behind Milwaukee in the division. They can cut it to 4 ¹⁄₂ by Thursday and make things interesting, but their main focus should be not losing ground to the Padres. The Reds are currently 1 game ahead of San Diego for the second wild-card spot, who are playing the team in the first wild-card spot in their series this week.

News

• No Jesse Winker for this one. Huh.

Roster Moves

• As previously mentioned, Tejay Antone is back in the bullpen, with the scuffling Sean Doolittle getting the DFA.
