Dateline: Cincinnati
Nick Lodolo will take on the New York Mets at Citi Field in the quaint little village called New York City.
It is his fourth start after returning from a blister on his left index finger with an 0-1 record and 7.20 ERA.
“He isn’t the pitcher he’s going to be,” manager Terrry Francona said. “But he will get there.”
He is 1-0 with a 1.54 ERA in two career starts against the Mets. His last start against them was on July 18 last season. Lodolo was the winning pitcher, allowing two runs in seven innings on four hits.
His mound opponent Nolan McLean is 24 years old and the third round pick of the Mets in the 2023 draft out of Oklahoma State University.
McLean is 2-3 in 10 starts with a 3.57 ERA. He is coming off a rough start against the Washington Nationals in which he allowed nine runs, six earned on eight hits, including two home runs.
McLean is facing the Reds for the first time.
