The Philadelphia Phillies (14-8) start the first leg of a 10-game road trip after making the most of home cooking with an 8-2 homestand. After beating up on lesser teams like the Colorado Rockies and Chicago White Sox, they'll face a stiffer test against the Cincinnati Reds (12-9) for four games, starting Monday at Great American Ball Park
.
With their sixth-straight win, an 8-2 victory on Sunday, the Phillies moved to within 1.0 game of the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves. Since taking two of three at Citizens Bank Park at the beginning of the month, the Reds have gone 9-8, but are coming off a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels. They sit 2.5 games back in the NL Central.
In roster news, the Phillies will be without first baseman Bryce Harper for three games, as the team placed him on the paternity list earlier today. Kody Clemens was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and will be in Monday's lineup.
Phillies vs. Reds probable pitchers, April 22
- Ranger Suárez (3-0) will kick things off for the Phillies on Monday. The lefty will make his first start since his 112-pitch complete-game shutout over the Rockies last week. The nine-inning gem lowered his season ERA to 1.73 while his WHIP sits at a minuscule 0.77. Suárez, arguably the best No. 3 in the majors, hasn't allowed a run in his last two starts and is up to 27 strikeouts over 26 innings this season.
- Hunter Greene (0-1) will counter for the Reds, making his fifth start of the season. The 24-year-old right-hander brings a 4.35 ERA and 1.31 WHIP into action tonight. Most of that is from one bad outing against the Milwaukee Brewers when he gave up seven runs (six earned) over six innings. He only went four innings in his last start against the Seattle Mariners but gave up just one run with eight strikeouts. He has 30 strikeouts so far this season through 20 2/3 innings.
