Thunderstorms are expected to roll into the Cincy area by mid-afternoon, with the heaviest stuff hitting right around game time. Things are supposed to clear up by around 7pm CT, though, so it’s entirely possible they’ll still get this one in.
Kris Bryant remains in the leadoff spot with Jason Heyward in the two-hole and Ben Zobrist batting third at second base. Anthony Rizzo cleans up, Javy Baez plays short, and Kyle Schwarber handles the duties in left. Albert Almora Jr. is in center and Chris Gimenez will call pitches behind the plate.
Jose Quintana didn’t have a great start to the season, but he’s shown much better consistency and control over his last four starts.
