The Cincinnati Reds have won nine of their last 12 games.
The Cincinnati Reds go back home to Cincinnati for a four-game series against the Chicago Cubs at Great American Ball Park on Thursday night.
Hunter Greene will face off against Javier Assad in game one of the series. Greene is having one of his best seasons as a Red, boasting a 3.44 ERA on the season to go along with 76 strikeouts in 70.2 innings. He is coming off a start against the Cubs where he battled through the rain, but gave up five earned runs in a loss last Saturday. Walks were an issue for him as he walked five batters. He added five strikeouts.
Justin Steele will get the start for the Cubs. Steele has a 4.10 ERA and 36 strikeouts in 27.2 innings this year. Steele last pitched on Saturday against the Reds, tossing five innings of five-run baseball. Four of those runs were unearned. Like Greene, Steele struggled with his command in the rain and issued four walks. He struck out five in a 7-5 Cubs win.
Frankie Montas will get the ball in the series finale for the Reds, while Shota Imanaga will take the bump for the Cubs.
