Pitchers
Reds’ most consistent starter Aaron Harang will take the mound for them; he’s 2-0 against the Cubs lifetime. His main success as a Red is that he can keep the ball inside the park.
The Cubs will send righty Mark Prior to the mound. He’s been shaked up in his last three starts, but is looking to rebound against the Reds, a team against whom he’s had a lot of success lifetime.
Game notes and streaks
Want a scary thought? The Reds are just four games below the Cubs in the NL Central // C Henry Blanco is 3/6 in his last seven games
