The Cincinnati Reds will look for their second series sweep of the season when they play the Minnesota Twins on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati\u2019s scheduled starting pitcher, Brady Singer (1-1, 5.60 ERA), earned his first win of the season on Tuesday. The right-hander scattered six hits, gave up one run and struck out one in a 2-1 home victory over the San Francisco Giants.<\/p>\n

Though Singer was struck with a comebacker to his right foot in the sixth inning, he finished the frame. X-rays came back negative.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad the X-rays came back good,\u201d Singer said. \u201cIt caught me square in the foot. But I\u2019m good for the next (start).\u201d<\/p>\n

Both of the Reds\u2019 wins over the Twins in this three-game series have been by one run \u2014 2-1 in the opener on Friday and 5-4 after a comeback on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati swept three games at the Texas Rangers from April 3-5. <\/p>\n

Singer said after his last start that the Reds\u2019 bullpen was a difference maker. Cincinnati relievers have not allowed a run in a combined eight innings while posting 11 strikeouts against the Twins.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are incredible,\u201d Singer said. \u201cThey\u2019ve been huge for us all year long and are going to carry us the rest of the way, too. It\u2019s great to see what they are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Singer has struggled over 13 career starts against the Twins. He\u2019s 3-7 with a 5.63 ERA and 73 strikeouts. <\/p>\n

Bailey Ober (2-0, 5.49 ERA) is set to take the mound for the Twins on Sunday. The right-hander picked up the win in his last start on Monday, when he allowed seven hits, four runs and one walk with seven strikeouts in six innings in a 13-6 decision over the visiting Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n

In four career starts against the Reds, Ober is 0-2 with a 6.23 ERA, 16 strikeouts and seven walks over 21 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

The Twins are 3-0 when Ober pitches at home this season.<\/p>\n

After the Minnesota offense sputtered on Friday, the Twins shook up their lineup. Josh Bell moved into the No. 3 hole and Luke Keaschall slid down to the five spot. The move paid immediate dividends as Minnesota took a 2-0 first-inning lead.<\/p>\n

Bell and Keaschall each collected two hits in the game, and Austin Martin scored two runs and secured a catch as he ran into the right-field wall. Martin is the right-handed-hitting complement in a right-field platoon with left-handed-hitting Trevor Larnach, who started in left on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Martin has a .295 batting average, one home run and four RBIs this season while mostly hitting second when he is in the Twins\u2019 lineup.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s having really consistent at-bats,\u201d manager Derek Shelton said. \u201cIt\u2019s the rare opportunity for a guy in a platoon that we are seeing this many left-handers.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince spring training, he\u2019s had a high quantity of at-bats and has been very impressive,\u201d Shelton continued. \u201cThere\u2019s no urgency in his at-bats, and I mean that in a really good way. He\u2019s taking what\u2019s coming to him, whether it\u2019s taking a walk or being aggressive early in counts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shelton said the team hopes to get Royce Lewis back from the 10-day injured list soon. The Twins\u2019 third baseman has been sidelined by a left knee strain and started his rehab assignment on Saturday with Triple-A St. Paul.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thought all along that this (injury) was right at the minimum amount of time or close to it,\u201d Shelton said. \u201cHis progression has gone extremely well. He\u2019s done all on-field activities, hit on the field and took ground balls with the group. Now it\u2019s on to the next step.\u201d<\/p>\n
