For the Angels, appealing Jorge Soler's suspension was the best decision. He was thought to be suspended for seven games, but the Cuban has played well. Furthermore, the Angels' designated hitter hit a grand slam in the eighth inning, driving in Trout, Neto, and Fraizer. The game ended 10-2 against the Reds; there were other home runs by the Angels, such as those by Neto and Lowe, and Trout had another one stolen.

Thus, the Reds, who recently seemed like one of the hottest teams in the NBA, have now fallen to fourth place in the NL Central with an 8-6 record. Despite their speed on the bases, Cincinnati hasn't been able to produce runs; in fact, the Reds are averaging 3 runs per game, the lowest figure in all of MLB.

Game two between the Angels and Reds at Great American Ball Park will feature this pitching matchup. Klaseen, a rookie who recently made his MLB debut, will have a second opportunity to start a game for the Angels. Among his strengths is his record of striking out many batters on called strikes in the minor leagues. He also boasts an excellent whiff rate, an ideal combination. Williamson will start for Cincinnati.
