MILWAUKEE (Interstat) — The Cincinnati Reds, looking to play spoiler in the final days of the season, open a weekend series against the playoff-bound Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday at American Family Field.

The Reds (81-78) arrive after taking two of three from the Pittsburgh Pirates, including a 2-1 victory on Thursday powered by a dominant pitching performance from starter Nick Lodolo. Cincinnati will send left-hander Andrew Abbott (9-7, 3.86 ERA) to the mound.

Milwaukee (96-63), having already clinched the National League Central, comes in after a 3-1 win over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. The Brewers have won four of their last six games.

This matchup continues a closely contested season series. The teams have split the first 10 meetings, with the Brewers holding a slight 47-45 run differential. They played to a scoreless tie in Friday night’s series opener.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Saturday’s contest is projected to be another high-scoring affair, with a predicted final of Reds 6, Brewers 5.

First pitch is scheduled for 6:10 p.m. CDT under cloudy skies with a game-time temperature of 65 degrees. The three-game set concludes on Sunday.
