DENVER — Cincinnati Reds right-hander Homer Bailey will make his third start of the season Tuesday, searching for better results after struggling in his first two outings.
Bailey (0-2, 27.00 ERA) will be opposed by Colorado Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland (8-6, 3.84).
Bailey has made just 10 starts for the Reds over the past three seasons while recovering from three surgeries — Sept. 5, 2014, to repair a torn flexor tendon in his right forearm; Tommy John surgery May 8, 2015, to repair the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow; and Feb. 18, 2017, to remove bone spurs in his right elbow.
