TONIGHT'S GAME: Is Game 2 (0-1) of a 3-game series vs Michael Vassallo's Brewers and Game 6 (3-2) of a 7-game homestand that included a 3-1 series win vs the Diamondbacks...the Redlegs are 15g (10-5) into a stretch in which they are scheduled to play 20 straight days until Thursday's off day in Colorado...following this series the Reds embark on a 7-day, 6-game road trip to StL (3g) and Col (off day, 3g).
