The Cincinnati Reds will try to move a game above .500 for the first time this season when they face Game Two of a three-game series vs. the Baltimore Orioles. Fans can follow the action starting with the first pitch at 4:05 p.m. EST.

Cincinnati got a solid start out of Andrew Abbott in Friday’s game, six innings, two hits, one earned run, and 11 strikeouts with just one walk. He got a lot of help from the lineup, which succeeded in chasing Orioles starter Cade Povich after 3 1/3 innings with six hits, seven earned runs, and five walks. The Reds hit three home runs off of Povich, a solo shot from Jeimer Candelario and a pair of three-run shots, one from Elly De La Cruz and the other from Matt McLain. Hunter Greene will get the start for Cincinnati today. Greene is 2-1 after four starts with a .98 ERA and a .58 WHIP. He’s gone deep into his last three starts (7, 8 2/3, and 7 innings), and has had eight strikeouts in three of his four starts. Baltimore will call up Brandon Young from AAA-Norfolk to make his MLB debut. Young had a 3.44 ERA with 96 strikeouts over 89 innings and 20 games (18 starts).
