The Dodgers and Reds are set to square off this afternoon in Cincinnati. Tony Gonsolin will take the mound in search of his 9th win of the season. To do that, he’s going to have to beat out Tyler Mahle, who just pitched 9 shutout innings in his last start.
But before the game, the Dodgers had to make a handful of moves. They added in Trayce Thompson just one day after making a trade with the Tigers for him. But Thompson will not get the start against the righty as Dave Roberts opted for Eddy Alvarez in rightfield again this afternoon.
