The Redlegs, fresh off a split with the champs to begin the season, come home to Cincinnati for Reds Opening Day. They weren’t able to open the season at home this year due to the protracted lockout, but the festivities kick off today as they welcome their cross state “rivals”, the freshly renamed Cleveland Guardians.
The Guardians come in from Kansas City from a split with the Royals. They scored a total of one run through the first two, then put up a total of 27 runs in the final two to earn the split. They roughed up Kris Bubic and Jackson Kowar for 12 of those runs on Sunday, two names that I promise are real people.
