The Los Angeles Dodgers had their six-game winning streak snapped in a 3-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Friday and now look to get back on track in the second of a three-game series at Great American Ball Park.
Max Scherzer makes his 28th overall start of the season and ninth as a member of the Dodgers. He has been nothing short of dominant since being acquired by L.A. at the MLB trade deadline, posting a 6-0 record with a 0.88 ERA, 1.26 FIP and 0.67 WHIP in 51 innings pitched.
Scherzer is coming off a nearly perfect outing against the San Diego Padres in which he allowed only one hit over eight scoreless innings with nine strikeouts.
