The brilliance of Andrew Abbott, timely homering from Tyler Stephenson, and a bullpen made of duct tape and nails led the Cincinnati Reds to a 2-1 victory over the Astros last night in the opener of their weekend series Houston. Today, they’ll turn to Hunter Greene to deliver them a series victory, with Elly De La Cruz back in the lineup hitting cleanup and playing 3B to sock some dingers, too.
That’s probably a thorough enough preview, right?
No?
You’re probably right.
Brandon Bielak will toe the rubber for Dusty Baker’s side today, the Notre Dame product having once been teammates with Cavan Biggio of the Blue Jays and Torii Hunter, Jr.
