The Cincinnati Reds go for the series victory over the San Diego Padres this afternoon in Great American Ball Park. They’ll turn to resident ace Andrew Abbott to do so, too.
Should the Reds pick up a victory here, they’ll move to a season-best 5 games over .500, though I hesitate to put the cart too far before the horse. I just put it there, though. Geeze.
First pitch is set for 4:10 PM ET. Lineups below!
