ROME, Ga. (Interstat) — The Bowling Green Hot Rods visit State Mutual Stadium on Tuesday to open a six-game series against the Rome Braves, with first pitch scheduled for 7 p.m. under clear skies and 78 degrees.

Bowling Green (15-8) enters riding a four-game winning streak, though it suffered a 5-0 shutout loss Sunday to Jersey Shore. Rome (12-10) arrives having won six of its last seven, including a 6-4 victory over Greensboro on Sunday.

Right-hander Garrett Gainey (0-0) is expected to start for the Hot Rods. Gainey took the loss in Sunday’s start against Jersey Shore, allowing one earned run on one hit over four innings with four strikeouts. In his most recent start against Rome on April 8, he surrendered five earned runs on nine hits in four innings but earned a 6-5 win.

Rome counters with right-hander Jeremy Reyes (0-0). Reyes threw five scoreless innings of one-hit ball with five strikeouts in a win at Greensboro on Sunday. He took a no-decision in an April 8 start at Bowling Green, allowing four earned runs on three hits over 5 2/3 innings in a 6-5 loss.

The Braves won four of six meetings between the teams in Bowling Green from April 7-12, including a 10-3 victory in the series finale. The Hot Rods took three of the final four games in that set.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 7-6 Rome victory.

The series continues through Sunday before Bowling Green returns home to host Brooklyn.
