Reds Rev Engines in Detroit After Rough Ride in Cleveland

After getting derailed by an 11-2 blowout loss in Cleveland, the Cincinnati Reds are looking to bounce back and turn the ignition on a new streak tonight in Detroit as they face the first-place Tigers.

Nick Martinez will take the mound for the Reds, hoping to stop the bleeding after Cincinnati’s bullpen was lit up in their midweek series. He’ll be squaring off against Keider Montero, a young arm the Tigers are grooming for a larger role as they look to hold onto their lead in the AL Central.

Cincinnati is trying to recapture some of the magic that powered them through May, and the offense will need to click early. TJ Friedl has been swinging a hot bat, and Gavin Lux has started to find rhythm at the plate, giving fans reason to believe this team can still surge in the NL Central standings.

First pitch is at 7:10 p.m., and if the Reds want to stay in the playoff conversation, it starts with stringing together wins—one road trip at a time.
