The Reds are wearing their Stars and Stripes uniforms to celebrate the 4th of July weekend.
No Cozart
And Bryant is back for Cubs.
Good to see Scooter back in there though with fellow lefty bats in Hamilton, Votto, Schebler and Barnhart.
Can't ever remember the Reds having 6 lefty bats in the same lineup so 5 must be the most.
Butler hasn't faced Cincinnati this season, but he did so three times during his time with the Rockies. He went 0-1 with an 8.44 ERA over 16 innings. Reds batters are a combined 10-for-29 (.414) with a 1.259 OPS against Butler, with Joey Votto, Zack Cozart and Adam Duvall a combined 8-for-16 (.500).
Jackson Stephens will face the reigning World Series champion Cubs when he makes his Major League debut on Saturday at Great American Ball Park. Stephens has spent the majority of the season with Triple-A Louisville, where he posted a 4-4 record and a 4.97 ERA in 15 appearances (14 starts).

Might be a lotta runs scored today.
I just hope the Reds can score more than the Cubs.

Good luck JaxSteve, you'll need it.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Happy Canada Day to Canada's greatest baseball player ever - Joey Votto
95 mph fastball for a swinging strike three, nice.
