The Cincinnati Reds (59-78), owners of last in the National League Central but only 7.0 games behind the fourth place Pirates (66-71) begin their last visit of 2018 to PNC Park at 1:35 pm Eastern on Monday. The Reds will send out The Dark Knight Matt Harvey (6-7, 4.97) to face The Highlander, The Studly One, Trevor Williams (11-9, 3.30)
Harvey, acquired from the New York Mets in a May trade, has been pitching better of late, compiling a 4.06 ERA in his last 12 starts, but that is tarnished by a game on July 22 when the Pirates tagged him for 8 runs in 3 2⁄3 innings.
