Reds SP Hunter Greene wasn't too sharp in his return from an IL stint but he's stretched out and pitching on the road, where he's been at his best. He has a 3.31 Road ERA across 9 starts this year and his ERA was .49 points lower on the road compared to at home during his rookie campaign. He last pitched against Arizona last season and threw 7 shutout innings, allowing just 1 hit. The first batter of the game hit a single and proceeded to get caught stealing. Greene then recorded 26 outs in a row. This is the Reds ACE of the future.
ARI starts Brandon Pfaadt. While he's had some success since his 2nd call up this season, he's still struggling at home. He has a 7.96 ERA across 7 Home Starts this year, allowing 3ER or more in all but one. Since his 2nd call up he's surrendered 3ER + in each of his 3 home starts.
The Diamondbacks bullpen is also in bad shape. Closer Paul Sewald has thrown a combined 70 pitches in 3 of the last 4 days. He's not going to be available tonight. Kyle Nelson is up to 32 pitches in 2 of the past 3 days. He also came in following Merill Kelly's 7 inning Gem yesterday and allowed a HR to the first batter he saw. He'd eventually give up 1 more and finish with 2ER in .2 IP last night.
Outside of those 2, Kevin Ginkel has been the only other reliable arm in that bullpen lately. Bullpen struggles have plagued Arizona all season, specifically closing games. It's why they acquired Paul Sewald at the trade deadline. SP Pfaadt has yet to complete 6 innings in a home start this season. Arizona's bullpen is going to have to get outs.
