Andrew Abbott was incredibly sharp on the mound for Cincy going seven shutout innings while only giving up one hit and striking out eight. The Cubs didn’t score until Abbott exited the game in the eighth. The win for Abbott was his third in a row to improve to 5-0 on the season. Abbott is becoming one of the Reds’ stand-out arms after debuting in 2023. The righty has an impressive 1.51 ERA and has yet to lose in the first two months of the season. The Cincinnati offense was fueled by homers from TJ Friedl, Tyler Stephenson, and Jake Fraley.

The Reds will follow up that great pitching performance by starting Nick Lodolo, who is 4-4 with a 3.39 ERA. The Cubs will counter and try to even up this series by starting Drew Pomeranz. Before signing with the Cubs, Pomeranz hadn’t pitched in the majors since 2021 with the San Diego Padres. This will be the veteran lefty’s first start of the season and he already has a 2-0 record without giving up a run in 12.2 innings pitched.
