Reds at Cardinals — April 15, 2016
The Reds (5-4) hopped on I-57 South (or more realistically, a chartered plane) after last night’s sweep at the hands of the 1st place Cubs (8-1). Tonight, they hope to get back to the winning ways that started the season with a three-game set against the suddenly fallible Cardinals (5-4).
Starting Pitchers
The following stats from 2015:
Tim Melville will return to the bump after a serviceable big league debut against the Pirates. Over 4.0 innings, the righty gave up just one run on five hits and four walks while striking out five. Despite the general sloppiness of the start, Melville stranded a runner at third each inning, proving a chutzpah about him to work well in tough situations.
