The Cincinnati Reds return to action in Great American Ball Park on Tuesday evening after the disappointing loss yesterday to the Philadelphia Phillies in the first game of the series.
Andrew Abbott was brilliant through 7 innings, though he (and the defense) fell apart in the Top of the 8th in the 4-1 loss. The offense, obviously, was mostly quiet – a hallmark of offenses against Philly’s elite pitching staff.

Brady Singer will toe the rubber for the Reds tonight, while lefty Ranger Suarez – yet another insanely good arm on their roster – will go for Philadelphia. The Reds have tailored their starting lineup for action against LHP, meaning you’re going to see Santiago Espinal in there at 3B.
I probably should’ve given a trigger warning before typing that. I apologies.
First pitch is set for 6:40 PM ET. Lineups below.
Go Reds!
