Pitching Matchups for the Four-Game Series Between the Indians and Reds

The Indians and Reds will play a four-game set starting on Monday in Cincinnati where the team will play a pair, and then head north to Cleveland to play two at Progressive Field. Monday's matchup will see Zach Plesac go for the Indians against Sonny Gray for the Reds.

The Indians will be in Cincinnati tonight for the first of four straight against the Reds, a team that has gotten off to a bit of a slow start in 2020 with a mark of 4-5.

The first two games between the two teams will be at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, then the two teams will head north with the Indians and Reds playing on Wednesday and Thursday at Progressive Field.

Originally it appeared that former Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer was going to be on the docket to pitch on Wednesday not only at Progressive Field against his former team but also against his best friend Mike Clevinger.

Bauer though pitched on Sunday in game two of a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers, pitching a "complete game" seven innings under the new doubleheader rules for this year that games of doubleheaders are seven innings and not nine.

With that Bauer isn't slated to pitch likely till Friday, meaning he will miss the entire series against his old mates.
