The Cincinnati Reds began the 2nd half of their season by taking 2 of 3 off the New York Mets in Queens in mid July. Beginning Friday, they’ll need to match that – or better – over the course of the weekend in Great American Ball Park if they’re going to have any shot at making the playoffs this year.
If they lose tonight, of course, they’ll officially be under .500.
Tick, tock!
Andrew Abbott will toe the rubber in this vital contest, with Denver, Colorado’s own David Peterson on the bump for the Mets.
First pitch is set for 6:40 PM ET. Lineups below.
Go Reds!
