Reds Take On Dodgers

The Reds host the Los Angeles Dodgers this afternoon.

Sonny Gray and Trevor Bauer will pitch for the Reds.  Both starters are pitching in the same game because the Reds have the first of two days off on Tuesday.  David Bell wants them to stay on schedule.  There is plenty of time to separated them before the season starts.

Joey Votto is in the lineup for the second straight day also because of the day off.   Votto has no hits in games so far 0-for-12 but has walked six times.

"I didn't know that Joey didn't have any hits," Bell said.  "I know how many walks. It seems like he's been on base all spring.  Sometimes the walks could be your best at bats in the spring.  You get to see a lot of pitches."

David Price is pitching for the Dodgers,  He will face:

Shogo Akiyama CF
Joey Votto 1B
Freddy Galvis DH
Jesse Winker LF
Aristedes Aquino RF
Curt Casali C
Derek Dietrich 2B

Nick Castellanos reported after three six days but was sent home again.  "He didn't look 100% better to me," Bell said.
