It may not be the Speedway Classic, but the Cincinnati Reds will play a game in front of a national audience on Friday night at PNC Park. Reds fans are hoping that Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates brings better results than their series opener on Thursday against Cy Young favorite Paul Skenes.
The Reds recorded seven hits — the most Skenes has ever surrendered — against the Pirates starter on Thursday night . Unfortunately, the Reds were unable to dent the plate and fell to the Bucs by a final score of 7-0.
The Reds and Pirates will be the featured game for Friday Night Baseball on AppleTV+.
