The Cincinnati Reds have brooms on their mind tonight in Queens, as they’ve already taken the first two games of the three game series against the New York Mets on the road in Citi Field. Now, they’ll send Andrew Abbott to the mound in the best form of his season to help make it happen.
Dating back to April 30th, Abbott has fired 28.0 IP across 5 starts, yielding just 3 ER in the process (good for a 1.29 ERA). He’s out-pitching his peripherals – something he’d done repeatedly over the last two excellent seasons – and is once again making it known that his approach to inducing weak contact might actually be a path to success given his left-handed arsenal.
Huascar Brazoban is who stands in the way of the red-hot Reds offense, at least to begin things. He’s a reliever by trade, so we’ll maybe see just a pair of innings from him before the Mets lean deeper into their bullpen.
First pitch is set for 7:10 PM ET. Lineups for both clubs are listed below!
