The Cincinnati Reds are on the road in Milwaukee on Friday night and will be facing the Brewers while in must-win mode. A game back of the New York Mets, the Reds need to gain a game in the standings with only a trio left to play, putting the onus on Friday and Friday only as they try to stay alive.

Zack Littell will get the start, but given that Nick Martinez is as fresh as can be (given his ability to pitch whenever, wherever) I can’t imagine Terry Francona giving him a long leash if the Beer bats start boppin’.

First pitch will be tossed by Quinn Priester at 8:10 PM ET.
