The Cincinnati Reds take their tattered pitching staff further on their road show on Monday, this time to the City of Brotherly Love. That\u2019s where they\u2019ll find the Philadelphia Phillies, who so hot right now they\u2019re shucking popcorn.<\/p>\n
Seriously, they were once 9-19 and fired their manager, yet since Don Mattingly took the helm they\u2019ve just started destroying everything in their path and now boast the exact same 24-23 record on the season as the Cincinnati Reds. That\u2019s good enough for 2nd place in the NL East right now, and the Reds can thank them for company in the cellar of the NL Central as the Phillies enter tonight\u2019s game fresh off a three-game sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates to park them also at 24-23 on the season.<\/p>\n
One-time almost-Red Kyle Schwarber has been leading the charge for the Phillies, his 20 dingers so far this season the most in all of baseball. The Reds, who do not have Kyle Schwarber on their roster despite him hailing from Middletown, will try to pick up the pieces against him this evening, with hopes that Nick Lodolo can finally lock-in after missing over a month on the shelf with blister issues and return to the excellent form he flashed back in 2025.<\/p>\n
The exhausted bullpen sure could use the rest.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the full lineup for the start.
