Episode Details

The Oakland A’s are reeling after a brutal six-game losing streak, sitting at 45-68 and fourth in their division, while the Cincinnati Reds, at 54-58 and fifth in the league, are riding a six-win skid over their last ten games. This is their second meeting this season — and with the Reds ranking seventh in homers (145) and the A’s winning 23 of 35 games when they hit two or more homers, power could be key. But the A’s have been crushed lately, outscored by 35 runs in their last 10, while the Reds have surged. On the mound: Jacob Lopez (5-4, 5.79 ERA) vs. Rhett Lowder (3-7, 5.42 ERA). Both teams are thin on healthy players — the Reds missing key arms and wrists, the A’s dealing with shoulder and knee injuries across the board. Who steps up when the chips are down?
