Reds Analysis: Looking to win 2 consecutive games
In the middle game of their season-opening series, Cincinnati let one get away, and Washington came back to win. With a 1-1 record going into Sunday, the Reds were 1.5 games behind the Pirates for the top spot in the NL Central and ranked third overall. Stuart Fairchild (run) and Jonathan India (RBI) each had two hits in Saturday’s game, but Cincinnati lost. In a losing effort, Jeimer Candelario (his first) and Luke Maile (his first) both scored home runs. Hunter Greene threw 4.2 innings, giving up two runs on 5 hits, 4 walks, and 7 strikeouts. After pitching one-third of an inning and giving up three runs on two hits, two walks, and one strikeout, reliever Alexis Diaz (0-1) was given the loss.
Phillies Analysis: They won 1 game in their series against the Braves
In their most recent game, Philadelphia prevailed 5-4 over the Braves, holding them off long enough to earn the win and salvage the series. Alec Bohm had 2 hits and two RBI, and Kyle Schwarber went 2 for 4 with a home run and two runs scored. Starting for the first game, Ranger Suarez gave up 3 runs in 5 innings while striking out seven and walking one.
Following their failure to advance to the World Series, Philadelphia realized they had to act quickly. Their largest offseason acquisition, Aaron Nola, signed a 7-year, $172 million contract. In addition to Kolby Allard (one year, $1 million) and Spencer Turnbull (one year, $2 million), they signed Whit Merrifield (one year, $8 million), an underappreciated addition.
