The Reds are reeling, having lost 10 of their last 13 games after sweeping the Pirates in Pittsburgh. The club got a much-needed off-day on Thursday after getting dominated by the Brewers in a three-game sweep to begin the week. In that series, Cincinnati was outscored 29-12, as their pitching staff continues to struggle. With the return of Devin Mesoraco tonight, Bryan Price needs his starting rotation to find their footing and pitch deeper into games because he now has just seven bullpen arms to work with.
