Summary
The Reds are on a mission to end their season with a bang, facing the NL Wild Card-leading Cubs in a crucial three-game series. After a brutal stretch against the Dodgers, Cincinnati’s pitching staff—led by ace Chase Burns (15-3, 2.80 ERA)—gets one last shot to shine. Burns, despite innings limitations, headlines Friday’s opener at 6:40 PM ET. Saturday sees struggling Nick Lodolo (3-5, blister woes) take the mound in a must-win game, while Sunday’s finale features Rhett Lowder (6-11, 5.79 ERA) hoping to turn his season around before next year. Can this trio rally and make a statement—or will the Cubs keep their playoff hopes alive? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
