Division-leading Reds aim for the series sweep against the slumping Giants

The Reds will send right-hander Chase Burns (1-1, 3.31 ERA) to the mound looking to rebound from his worst start of the season while the Giants will counter with righty Landen Roupp (2-1, 3.24 ERA) having already earned a win on the roadtrip.
