Kansas City at Cincinnati 6:40 ET
Reds over Royals- Cincinnati’s Nick Martinez (6-5, 3.16 ERA) has spent the better part of his last 11 pro seasons at the Big League level and has been quite to journeyman as a semi starter and for the most part long man in the pen. 17 innings against Royals with a 2.08 ERA. Kansas City’s Michael Lorenzen (5-6, 3.81) has had a 10 year career path very similar to Martinez for one no-hit flash in the pan on his resume. Six innings six, hits five earned runs in his one appearance against the Reds. In and unbelievable stat has no had a win since June 11 and this club has lost 15 of the last 18 games that he has appeared in. That’s enough for me. Take CINCINNATI!
