The Reds will counter with Nick Martinez as they try to bounce back from a disappointing series loss to the Chicago Cubs.

The Reds led the first and last games by at least four runs, but lost both of them. They did win the middle game, but could have picked up a sweep of the first-place Cubs.

Martinez will take the mound on Monday and he comes into the day 2-5 with a 3.43 ERA. He pitched well in his last game as he only gave up one run in six innings, but the Reds didn’t score and he took the loss.

It was the Reds’ third loss in his last four starts and they are just 2-8 when Martinez starts on the mound this season.
