Diamondbacks LHP Jalen Beeks (4-1, 4.07) vs. Reds LHP Andrew Abbott (8-3, 2.28).
At Chase Field: The Diamondbacks announced earlier in the day that Beeks would get the start instead of RHP Nabil Crismatt. Presumably, the club wants the left-hander to face the top of the Reds lineup before transitioning to Crismatt for a multi-inning relief effort. … Crismatt made his first appearance in the majors this season last weekend at Colorado, firing five innings of one-run ball. He allowed three hits, walked one and struck out five. … Crismatt, 30, made one appearance with the Diamondbacks during the 2023 season. He spent most of this season in Triple-A with the Phillies. … Abbott, 26, was named to his first All-Star team this year. He has been the Reds’ best and most consistent starter this year. … He threw seven scoreless innings against the Brewers in his most recent outing. … His best start came June 10 vs. the Guardians when he threw a three-hit shutout with one walk and five strikeouts. … He faced the Diamondbacks last year, giving up one run in seven innings in a game at Chase Field.
