Andrew Abbott will take the mound on Tuesday evening. Abbott was outstanding last time out, completing eight shutout innings against the Giants and collected another win.

Cincinnati has rebounded from a five-game slide by winning the next five games, all at home. This includes two wins in four meetings against the Giants and a dominating sweep against the D-Backs on the weekend propelled by the bats. The Reds are only 0.5 games out of first and are 5-5 in their last ten decisions.
