Our beloved Cincinnati Reds make their first trip to the Windy City today, as they face off against the Chicago Cubs for a 3-game set. A couple years ago, a mid-June series against the Cubs would have a little more on the line but now it’s just a battle for not-last in the division. Blergh. Luis Castillo takes the hill hoping to right the ship after a couple of tough outings, as he’s allowed 7 runs over 12 innings over his last 2 starts. Thankfully the Cubs are also not good so something has to give here. The Cubs are countering with Keegan Thompson, who is having a hell of a season in his second year. He brings a 3.10 ERA to tonight’s game. Thompson has made 4 relief appearances against the Reds, allowing no runs in 3 total innings.
Offensively, Jonathan India returns to the lineup for the first time since getting hit by a pitch on Saturday so that’s nice. Nick Senzel has started to hit the ball a little better as of late. He’s put up a .306/.359/.333 line over the last 2 weeks. Hopefully he can start adding some power to that line soon. Let’s go Reds.
