The Cincinnati Reds are still a last place team. Winning today against the Chicago Cubs would begin to help change that, given that the Cubs sit 3 games ahead of the Reds in the coveted 4th place spot in the National League Central.
Justin Dunn gets another start for the Reds today, something that’ll make this quote from March a bit more relevant again, one way or another:

This, folks, is what the present was supposed to look like while we wait for the future. It’s not a rebuild, you just don’t like the design choice, apparently. I don’t. I don’t know why I projected onto you not liking it, I just... [/glances at roster and standings and lineup and groans].
First pitch is set for 1:40 PM ET. Maybe Jake Fraley will make something happen, I don’t know.
