The Cincinnati Reds are fresh off taking two of three on the road in Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies, a feat that (at this stage of the season) still somehow feels like merely treading water. With just two weeks to go before the trade deadline, the Reds are in floor it mode if they\u2019re to claw their way back into a chase for a Wild Card spot, and next up on the docket are the formidable Seattle Mariners.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve got more Late Night Reds for the week!<\/p>\n
Monday\u2019s series opener will feature southpaw Andrew Abbott on the mound for the Reds. He hiccuped a bit in his final start before the All Star break (4 ER in 4.0 IP against the Chicago Cubs), but dating back to the final day of April he\u2019s the owner of a 3.18 ERA across 76.1 IP (14 starts). If the Reds can get that kind of outing from him in this one, perhaps they\u2019ll stand a chance against M\u2019s starter George Kirby.<\/p>\n
Kirby\u2019s track record is an impressive one, but he\u2019s been attainable of late. Over his last 9 starts dating back to May 17th, he\u2019s pitched to a 4.75 ERA across 53.0 IP, and the 121 hits he\u2019s allowed so far this season were the most in the American League entering play today.<\/p>\n
First pitch is set for 9:40 PM ET.
