Go Reds?
Elly De La Cruz launched a mammoth grand slam into the RF seats in Minnesota last night, and if he does so again tonight he’ll be the first player to hit grand slams on consecutive nights for the Cincinnati Reds since someone else probably did.
That’s what’s on the line in this, the 149th game of the 2024 regular season. Oh, how I miss playoff chases around here (as if I even remember them).
Nick Martinez gets the start for the Reds looking to further improve his status as an elite starting pitcher on the free agent market this winter, since he’s surely pitched his way into opting-out of his current contract with the Reds at season’s end. Go get ‘em, Nick, and cash every check from whichever non-Reds team ponies up the cash. You deserve every bit of it.
Simeon Woods Richardson starts for the Twins, with first pitch set for 7:10 PM ET. Lineups are listed below.
Go team!
