Reds at Cubs, Game 1: Preview, Lineups, Pitching Match-up

Our beloved Cincinnati Reds make their first trip to the Windy City today, as they face off against the Chicago Cubs for a 3-game set. A couple years ago, a mid-June series against the Cubs would have a little more on the line but now it’s just a battle for not-last in the division. Blergh. Luis Castillo takes the hill hoping to right the ship after a couple of tough outings, as he’s allowed 7 runs over 12 innings over his last 2 starts. Thankfully the Cubs are also not good so something has to give here. The Cubs are countering with Keegan Thompson, who is having a hell of a season in his second year.
