CINCINNATI (Interstat) — The Boston Red Sox look to continue their strong early-season pitching and secure a series win when they visit the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday evening at Great American Ball Park.

First pitch is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. EDT under cloudy skies with a temperature around 49 degrees.

The Red Sox (1-0) opened the season with a 3-0 victory over the Reds (0-1) on Thursday behind a dominant performance from left-hander Garrett Crochet. He will be a key player to watch again after throwing six scoreless innings with eight strikeouts in the opener.

Boston will send right-hander Brady Singer to the mound. Cincinnati will counter with left-hander Andrew Abbott, who also pitched well in defeat on Thursday, allowing no earned runs over six innings despite taking the loss.

The Reds will hope for more offensive support after being shut out in the opener. First baseman Sal Stewart, who had three of Cincinnati’s seven hits on Thursday, will be relied upon to spark the lineup.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 Red Sox victory. Boston is a pregame favorite with a spread of -1.5, and the over/under is set at 8.5 runs.

Following Saturday’s game, the teams conclude their three-game series on Sunday. Boston then travels to Houston for a three-game set starting Monday, while Cincinnati remains home to host Pittsburgh beginning Monday.
