I'm not a fan of either starting pitcher, Sal Romano or Chad Kuhl.
Romano will be making his fifth big league start. He's given up 13 walks in those starts spanning 18 1/3 innings. He's still experimenting with his pitches. The Reds are going to be patient with him. So he's living and learning.
Kuhl has a 4.84 ERA and also has been dealing with control issues. He walked five batters in 5 1/3 innings during his last start against the weak-hitting Padres in San Diego this past Friday.
The Reds rank 12th in the majors in homers. They've already smacked five homers in the first two games of this series. Both teams are thin and weak in middle relief.
