Reds Battle Pirates in Critical Series | Cincinnati Reds News

The Reds are reeling after a brutal Ohio Cup loss to the Guardians, sitting at 50-57 and staring down the trade deadline with potential moves looming. But they’re back in action hosting the Pirates for a pivotal four-game series — a chance to turn things around. Thursday sees Rhett Lowder, who’s been asked to do whatever it takes, taking on Yohan Ramirez. Friday’s a must-win showdown: Hunter Greene vs. Paul Skenes, with Skenes looking less dominant than usual. Saturday brings Braxton Ashcraft vs. Andrew Abbott, and Sunday features Mitch Keller vs. Chase Burns, who’s coming off a rough outing. This series could be the make-or-break moment for the Reds’ playoff hopes — anything less than a win might signal the start of a rebuilding phase.
