Alright.  Sonny Gray goes for the Reds tonight to be opposed by Yu Darvish of the Cubs.  Cubs have been on quite a roll at Wrigley sweeping the Pirates and blasting them with scores you'd think were played at Soldier field between the Bears and Bengals.   Cubs continued that last night blasting Cincinnati 8-2.   Reds made it a game till it broke open late and Cubs won easily. 

Gray has had a great year with the Reds and hopes to slow down the Cubs but that may not be easy with the way they are sending runners across the plate and the way the Reds struggle to score.  Yu Darvish can be tough when he gets ahead so the Reds hitters have to be ready to swing early and not take a lot of pitches.

Aquino has been slowed a bit at the plate and its logical due to the 5th place hitter being Tucker Barnhart and his 220 BA.   He's had a terrible year.   O'Grady in LF, Peraza in at SS and VanMeter at second base.  A little offense could go a long way with Gray on the hill.

ENJOY the game!!! Smile

Alright.  Mahle for the Reds will face Lester for the Cubs.   Neither has a great ERA, and Mahle has lost 11 games.  His run support this year has not been great either but this fact is true for most of the Reds pitchers as the club has not produced much this season.

Casali will catch tonight, Lorenzen in CF, and Iglesias back at SS.  Alex Blandino will be at second base.  I think Peraza should have played more due to his age at only 25.  I hope next year he produces like he did last year.

Reds took the season series from the Cubs with the win last night and that is the first time they have done this since 2014, which coincidentally is the last time they didn't lose 90 games since 2013.  There is hope for next season.

Enjoy the game! Smile
