News
- The surging Reds are rolling right along. They go for the series sweep against the Pirates today on the back of Tyler Mahle.
- Playoff race update: The Reds finally gained a game on the Brewers last night, who lost 9-6 in a thrilling extra-innings affair. They did not gain ground on San Diego, however, who beat the Diamondbacks.
- It’s Joe Morgan Day in Cincinnati. There’s a pre-game ceremony today as the Reds honor #8 on 8/8. Expect some great speeches, memories, and delayed game time start.
- Suarez gets the start today ahead of Moose, who will make a heck of a late-game pinch hitter.
Roster Moves
- Lucas Sims is officially back. He comes off the IL, and will replace Brad Brach, who hits the IL with a
bruised egoright shoulder impingement.
Game Info
1:10ish PM start, Bally Sports Ohio, WLW.
