Early-Season Aces to Face Off as Cincinnati Reds Host Philadelphia Phillies

Two early-season aces, Nick Lodolo and Spencer Turnbull, will square off when the Cincinnati Reds host the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday evening. Lodolo has been impressive in his return to the Reds’ rotation, while Turnbull has been one of the success stories early for the Phillies. The Reds won the first two games of the series, so the Phillies will be looking to get back on track. Bryce Harper is expected to miss his third game Wednesday due to paternity leave, but the Phillies hope to have him back for the Thursday series finale.

Reds Halt Phillies’ Win Streak with 8-1 Victory

Despite the absence of Bryce Harper, the Cincinnati Reds managed to end the Philadelphia Phillies’ seven-game win streak with an 8-1 triumph on Tuesday. Elly De La Cruz’s two-run home run and Christian Encarnacion-Strand’s three-hit, two-RBI performance played crucial roles in the Reds’ success.

Ranger Suárez continued his impressive run with seven shutout innings, while Kody Clemens hit a three-run homer as the Philadelphia Phillies extended their winning streak to seven games with a 7-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night. Gregory Soto and Jeff Hoffman combined to complete the two-hitter for Philadelphia’s fourth shutout this season, tying Cleveland for most in the majors.
