Reds at Guardians, Game 1: Preview, Lineups, Pitching Match-up

The Reds return to action after a day off, hopefully moving past what happened Sunday. Despite allowing no hits, as you remember, they still failed to win. It was the second poor performance in a row by an offense that had started to hit a stride recently. Hopefully the off day will help get things back into gear.

The Reds are facing a Cleveland Guardians team who are returning home from a series loss against the Twins, and that was after dealing with a Covid outbreak earlier in the week. This same team swept our beloved Reds back in April (who didn’t?) in a 2-game series that set off a stretch of 20 losses in 21 games for the Reds. Connor Overton takes the hill for Cincinnati as he hopes to continue his fantastic start to 2022. He’s put up a 1.59 ERA in 3 starts so far. He’ll face off against Zach Plesac (1-3, 4.68 ERA) who has struggled this season. He did not pitch against the Reds the last two times these teams met. Go Reds.
