Reds Look to Play Spoiler Against Division-Leading Brewers

The Cincinnati Reds (56-60) look to bounce back from their 8-3 loss against the Milwaukee Brewers (66-49) and play spoiler on Saturday. Sitting only four games below .500, the Reds need a win to force a rubber match on Sunday and inch their way closer into the playoff hunt.

The Reds will send Nick Martinez (6-5, 3.43 ERA) to the mound on Saturday. In his last start, he allowed no earned runs on four hits and no walks while striking out five in five innings. Martinez has faced the Brewers twice this season, both coming in relief appearances. He has allowed no earned runs over 2 2/3 innings on no hits and one walk while striking out three.

Here is how the Reds will line up on Saturday:

1.) 2B Jonathan India
2.) SS Elly De La Cruz
3.) C Tyler Stephenson
4.) CF TJ Friedl
5.) LF Spencer Steer
6.) 1B Jeimer Candelario
7.) DH Ty France
8.) RF Jake Fraley
9.) 3B Noelvi Marte

The Brewers will counter with rookie Tobias Myers (6-5, 3.02 ERA). In his last start, he allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out two in five innings. This will be his first time facing the Reds.

Myers' repertoire includes a four-seam fastball, cutter, slider, changeup, curveball, and sinker. He leans heavily on his four-seam fastball throwing it 40.8 percent of the time, but turns to his slider the most in put-away situations at 23.8 percent.

Here is how the Brewers will line up on Saturday:

1.) Brice Turang
2.) LF Jackson Chourio
3.) DH Gary Sanchez
4.) C William Contreras
5.) SS Willy Adames
6.) RF Sal Frelick
7.) 1B Rhys Hoskins
8.) CF Garrett Mitchell
9.) 3B Joey Ortiz
