The Philadelphia Phillies look to build off of Friday’s 8-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds in game three of a four-game series.
The Phils will send Matt Strahm to the mound for his third start of the season. The lefty has been Mr. Consistent since being thrown into a starting role due to Ranger Suarez’s injury. Strahm has not allowed an earned run this season.
Cincinnati will counter with lefty Graham Ashcroft. The 25-year old has been a pleasant surprise this season for the Reds going six innings and seven innings in his first two starts of the season.
First pitch from Cincinnati is set for 4:10 PM/Eastern from the banks of the Ohio River.
When: Saturday, April 15
Where: Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, OH
First Pitch: 4:10 PM/EDT
Broadcast: SportsRadio 94 WIP and the Phillies Radio Network with Scott Franzke and Kevin Stocker
