First pitch from Great American Ball Park is scheduled for 6:40 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast regionally on FOX Sports Ohio and NBC Sports Chicago as well as nationally on MLB Network. Additional streams can be found via the MLB Streams subreddit.
Cubs Lineup
Chicago's offense hasn't been able to find its stride lately. Prior to Wednesday's five-run showing, they had failed to score more than five runs in six consecutive games. They'll need Kris Bryant and Javier Baez to step up at the plate in order to take the series, especially since they'll be facing NL Cy Young candidate Luis Castillo.
Jose Quintana (4-2, 3.50 ERA) gets the ball for the Cubs. He's put up quality starts in back-to-back appearances coming into Thursday.
Reds Lineup
For Cincinnati, strong games from both the young stars and the veterans are necessary to take the series. Top prospect Nick Senzel and first baseman Joey Votto in particular need to provide a spark atop the order to get the offense going early.
Blossoming star Luis Castillo (4-1, 1.76 ERA) will start for the Reds. His ERA is the third-lowest in all of baseball, and in his most recent start, he struck out 11 batters in six innings of work.
