Its Thursday, April 3 and the Reds (2-4) are in Milwaukee to open a series against the Brewers (2-4).
Nick Lodolo is slated to take the mound for Cincinnati against Nestor Cortes for Milwaukee.
The Reds limp into town searching for offense after being shut out 19 innings. On back-to-back days Cincinnati was on the short end of 1-0 games against the Rangers. Yesterday, Hunter Greene was exceptional throwing seven innings of one-run ball, but Jack Leiter and the Texas pen were better limiting the Reds to three hits.
The Brewers picked up their second win of the season last night, winning 3-2 against the Royals in eleven innings. Brice Turang’s suicide squeeze plated Oliver Dunn with the winning run for Milwaukee.
