Series Schedule/Probable Starters
Monday at 7:07 pm ET - Lisalverto Bonilla (0-2, 6.17) vs. Marcus Stroman (5-2, 3.30)
Tuesday at 7:07 pm ET - Asher Wojciechowski (1-0, 2.25) vs. J.A. Happ (0-3, 4.50)
Wednesday at 12:37 pm ET - Tim Adelman (3-2, 4.95) vs. Mike Bolsinger (0-2, 5.49)
The Reds enter the series one game below .500 at 24-25 after winning two of three in Philadelphia. Though they are fourth place in the NL Central, they are only 2-1/2 games behind Milwaukee for first place.
Reds Batting Leaders - Zack Cozart .350 AVG, Scott Schebler 15 HR, Adam Duvall 43 RBI, Billy Hamilton 26 SB.
Reds Pitching Leaders - Scott Feldman 4 W/4.26 ERA/51 K, Raisel Iglesias 9 SV.
The Blue Jays lost yesterday but still took two of three against the Texas Rangers to begin this 10-game homestand. Their 23-27 record puts them seven games behind the New York Yankees in the AL East. As Richard Griffin notes, Happ will be pitching against one of the guys he was traded for in his first stint with Toronto.
Burning Question - How long will it be before JD and Tulo hit their stride?
Hot Take - Happiness Is A Warm Gun but will Happ have enough bullets against the Reds in his first start back?
On Deck - The Damn Yankees are at the Dome June 1-4.
