Having had basically two off-days in the past three days due to Tuesday’s rainout and Thursday’s scheduled break, the Reds (14-20) start a three-game series with the Phillies (20-15) on entirely fresh legs. The Reds took two of three from the Phils in the second series of the season, but the two clubs have been on greatly different paths since.
In other news, the Reds have called up top-ranked prospect Jose Peraza and placed OF Billy Hamilton on the bereavement list.
It'll be cool to see Peraza play at MLB level. Hopefully the Reds send him right back down/he doesn't get hurt so they don't lose a year.
