Today kicks off Fourth of July Weekend, and for many that means extended weekends off from work. The MLB planned accordingly and has games scheduled in windows all throughout the day.
Let's begin in Cincinnati where the Reds will host the Padres. Ha-Seong Kim has been on a tear of late, and today he gets a favorable matchup against Graham Ashcraft in one of the most hitter-friendly parks in the league.
The Nationals will continue their road trip on the East Coast in Philadelphia with Josiah Gray getting the ball for them. The last time he faced the Phillies, Nick Castellanos went off, and Castellanos may be in line for another big performance today.
Several starting pitchers have put together strong performan ces against the Twins this season by generating tons of swings and misses. Dean Kremer may be next in line when he gets the ball for the Orioles tonight.
