Cincinnati Reds (24-24) at Philadelphia Phillies (25-23) — Game Preview
Cincinnati and Philadelphia square off at Citizens Bank Park with the Reds at 24-24 and the Phillies at 25-23, and the home staff carrying a 4.21 ERA against a Cincinnati lineup hitting just .226. Chase Burns takes the ball for the Reds at a 1.87 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 53.0 innings, while Jesús Luzardo answers for the Phillies at 5.07 with 61 strikeouts. Elly De La Cruz leads the Cincinnati offense at .297 with 11 home runs, and Sal Stewart matches him with 11 homers and 32 RBI to round out the heart of the order. For Philadelphia, Brandon Marsh is hitting .327 with a .472 slugging percentage as the team’s most consistent contact threat. Behind him in the rotation, Cristopher Sanchez has been the home staff’s anchor at a 1.82 ERA with 80 strikeouts. The matchup tilts on whether Burns can hold a Phillies offense that’s mustered a .698 OPS long enough for the Reds’ bats to find Luzardo.
