CINCINNATI - Friday night’s series opener between the Giants and Reds could come down to Arroyo versus Arroyo.
Christian Arroyo is hitting sixth for the Giants, and Bronson Arroyo is pitching for the Reds.
“When I was getting drafted,” Christian said, “I was thinking, ‘Maybe one day I’ll face Bronson. That would be sick.’ ”
The day is here.
They’re not related, but they have something in common beyond their last name. Both played at Hernando High School in Brooksville, Fla., Christian graduating in 2013 — a whopping 17 years after Bronson’s graduation.
