Holmes vs. Paddack: Braves Offense Targets Struggling Reds Starter
Atlanta brings a potent lineup to Cincinnati against a Reds pitcher yet to record a win and carrying a 6.86 ERA.
The Braves head to Cincinnati after a high-scoring series against Boston. Grant Holmes takes the mound with a 3.78 ERA but has shown vulnerability when facing lineups a third time. Chris Paddack has not earned a win this season and owns a 6.86 ERA. Atlanta's bullpen arm Didier Fuentes is expected to be available as a follow-up option given Holmes's noted third-time-through struggles.
