Season series: First meeting of 2023; tied 2-2 last season
The Reds have performed well as of late, winning 5 of their last 7 games. Cincinnati swept the Chicago Cubs on the road over the weekend, taking them down in a 3-game series by a combined 25-10 score, which included a 9-0 shutout in Friday’s opener.
The Red Sox are the complete opposite, losing 5 of their last 7 — though they did take 2 of 3 at the Arizona Diamondbacks despite dropping the series finale Sunday 4-2 — and they’re 5-5 in their last 10 overall. Prior to the trip to the desert, Boston was swept in 3 by the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim. Boston will be happy to return to Fenway where it is 15-11 this season.
