GOODYEAR, Arizona – The Cincinnati Reds (9-8-1) are exactly two weeks from Opening Day as they take the field Thursday for a Cactus League home game against the Homeless Athletics at Goodyear Ballpark.

The game time was moved up to 3:05 p.m. (ET) because of rain in the evening forecast. It can be heard on WSAI (1360-AM) radio; no TV. Left-hander Nick Lodolo, who’s scheduled for his second start of the season behind Opening Day starter Hunter Greene, starts Thursday against the A’s.
