The Cincinnati Reds are up against it a bit tonight as National League Cy Young Award frontrunner Paul Skenes stands between them and victory. The Reds are on the road in Pittsburgh to begin a four-game series against the Pirates in a clash of NL Central rivals, with the Reds fresh off a series victory over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field earlier in the week.

Brady Singer will toe the rubber for the Reds, who at 60-55 sit 3 games back of the final NL Wild Card spot.
