Why is the Reds schedule only 60 games this year?
The Cincinnati Reds will open the 2020 season at home against the Detroit Tigers on July 24th. The first pitch is slated for 6:10 PM with Luis Castillo likely to take the mound for the Reds. Cincinnati has struggled out of the gates the past two seasons and cannot afford to that in the abbreviated 2020 season.
In case you missed it, this year’s baseball season will consist of just 60 games.
