Chase Burns continues his chase to become the fifth member of the starting rotation of the Cincinnati Reds today at Goodyear Stadium at the Reds complex in Arizona, this time doing so against the heart of the San Diego Padres roster.
Each of Fernando Tatis, Jr. and Manny Machado are in the Padres lineup today, while the Reds will roll out a lineup of regulars featuring Elly De La Cruz, Eugenio Suarez, TJ Friedl, Matt McLain, Spencer Steer, Noelvi Marte, and Will Benson.
That sentence is enough to make
me think I should probably just post today’s travel roster, since that’s got the actual lineup in it that features all those names I chose to type out above, for whatever reason.
You may also notice that TJ Friedl is getting a start in LF today with Dane Myers in CF, something that manager Terry Francona suggested he would experiment with in conversations with Charlie Goldsmith earlier in the week.
There’s no TV feed for this one today, sadly, but you can listen to Burns & Co. spin pitches courtesy of 1360 WSAI. First pitch is set for 3:05 PM ET.
Go Reds!
