The Atlanta Braves are off to their best start in four years as they enter this four-game series with a respectable 12-8 record. The Cincinnati Reds on the other hand are just 3-18 on the season and have lost seven of eight home at Great American Ball Park.

Tonight the Braves hand the ball to Mike Foltynewicz (1-1, 2.53 ERA). The right-hander held Philadelphia to one run on four hits his last time out. He has 26 strikeouts in 21 1/3 innings on the season and is 1-0 with a 1.93 ERA in three career starts against the Reds who turn to Sal Romano (0-2, 5.75 ERA). Romano has served up four homers and walked 11 in 20 1/3 innings of work this season.

The Reds are hitting only .220 as a team and the team ERA is 5.55, with both numbers ranking in the bottom five in the majors.
