The Cincinnati Reds continue their West Coast trip continuing their quest to break into the second Wild Card position. After taking 2 of 3 from the Los Angeles Angels, they take on the Arizona Diamondbacks only half a game out of that playoff spot. The Reds send Zack Littell to the mound to make his fourth start as a Redleg. He’ll face off against Ryne Nelson. Nelson is a right handed pitcher in his fourth season in the majors. He’s had a solid season in 2025, making 16 starts (26 appearances) and putting
up a 3.58 ERA across 113 innings. His last time out, he threw 6 shutout innings against the Pirates.
The Reds did make a move heading into this series, promoting Zach Maxwell from Triple-A Louisville and demoting Luis Mey. Maxwell is a right hander who was selected in the 6th round of the 2022 draft out of Georgia Tech. He’s throwin 49.2 innings for Louisville and owns a 4.17 ERA. He’s thrown well in the month of August, allowing only 1 run in 9.1 innings with 6 walks and 13 strikeouts. His first appearance for the Reds will be his Major League debut.
We’ve got more late night baseball, so heat up that coffee and throw on some Foo Fighters, we’ve got more late night baseball tonight. Go Reds.
