This afternoon, the Reds (47-55) look for a series win over the Pirates (60-43) as they run out their fifth consecutive rookie starting pitcher. Keyvius Sampson will make the start after being called up earlier in the week to replace the injured Nate Adcock.
The last time the #Reds had 5 consecutive starts by rookie pitchers was September, 1935. Keyvius Sampson will be 5th straight tomorrow.
