The Cincinnati Reds embark upon split-squad action on Sunday afternoon in the Land of the Endless Strip Mall, taking on the Arizona Diamondbacks at home in their Goodyear complex while also fencing with the San Diego Padres at their home at the Peoria Sports Complex.
Both games, believe it or not, are going to have live, televised broadcasts via Reds.tv and MLB.tv!
Brady Singer will get the start against the Diamondbacks with first pitch set for 4:05 PM ET (thanks to the overnight time change), while
Chase Burns will toe the rubber for his Reds contingent on the road against the Friars – that one’s set for a 4:10 PM ET start.
Dane Myers, Noelvi Marte, JJ Bleday, Sal Stewart, and Nate Lowe are among the crew that hit the road to face San Diego behind Burns. The squad that got to avoid the road trip and play at home behind Singer includes TJ Friedl, Matt McLain, Elly De La Cruz, Spencer Steer, Will Benson, Tyler Stephenson, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Ke’Bryan Hayes, and Rece Hinds.
Due to the split squad action, it’s likely we’ll see hitters get more than just a pair of PAs today, too, with most playing close to a whole game for the first time all spring.
