We begin a 3 game series with manager/LF Silver Borresen (32-6.9) and his Reds today. We are 4-5 against Cincinnati so far this season and we took 2 of 3 from them last week in Detroit. They are currently 2nd in runs scored with 5.3 per game (Detroit is 4th with 5.2). They are 4th in runs allowed with 5.0 (Detroit is #1 with 3.8). Cincinnati's League Park is the 2nd easiest place to hit a home run in the League, behind Detroit, but is otherwise not so nice to hitters.
