The Cincinnati Reds are back in action in Great American Ball Park on Tuesday evening, continuing on their unlikely quest to actually sneak into the playoffs.
They currently sit in the catbird seat for
the third and final National League Wild Card spot, tied with a New York Mets club in the standings over whom they hold a tiebreaker. That all becomes moot, of course, if they can’t keep up their winning ways, something they’ll attempt to begin against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday in the series opener.
Brady Singer will start for the Reds opposite Johan Oviedo, while Sal Stewart will begin the game on the bench (again) as Ke’Bryan Hayes returns to 3B to face his former club.
First pitch is set for 6:40 PM ET. Lineups below.
Go Reds!
