Reds Open Series with Struggling White Sox

The Cincinnati Reds are back at Great American Ball Park tonight, hosting the Chicago White Sox in the first game of a three-game set. Left-hander Andrew Abbott (2-0, 2.25 ERA) takes the mound for Cincinnati, aiming to cool off a White Sox squad that’s dropped five straight on the road.

TJ Friedl and Jose Trevino have been heating up at the plate, and the Reds will look to take advantage of a Chicago pitching staff that has allowed too many long balls this year.

First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. as Cincinnati looks to climb back toward .500.
