The Cincinnati Reds have somehow already navigated their way through 20 games of Cactus League play so far this spring, and it honestly feels as if they’ve played 37 of those 20 games at home in Goodyear.
Today, they’re in Goodyear again, too – this time playing host to the Texas Rangers.
Cincinnati will send out righty Rhett Lowder for another start as he looks to cement a spot in the team’s starting rotation to start the season. They’ll also roll out a lineup featuring the indomitable TJ Friedl who
has seemingly been in the lineup everyday already. Will Benson, Nate Lowe, and JJ Bleday will join him in a lefty-heavy lineup on the day, with each of Rece Hinds and Jose Trevino also in there for some balance.
Cam Collier, Hector Rodriguez, and Carlos Jorge are among the top prospects on the bench in this one, as the travel roster relays.
The bullpen is also loaded today with several arms who project to make the team’s Opening Day roster.
Sadly, though, this game will not be televised. You’ll have to tune in to 700 WLW’s radio feed to follow it in any capacity, though that’s accessible through MLB.com if you no longer have a radio with AM access.
First pitch is set for 4:05 PM ET.
