Pitching Matchup
Cincinnati: Brady Singer (7‑6, 4.31 ERA)
Posted a 4.31 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 85 innings with 76 Ks
In his latest outing vs. the Yankees, allowed 4 runs over 5 innings and took the loss
Career vs. Boston: 2‑2 with 4.71 ERA in 21 innings
Boston: Richard Fitts (0‑3, 4.68 ERA)
Recalled June 22 after IL stint; in 25 MLB innings, holds a 4.68 ERA with 21 Ks, 1.28 WHIP
His early 2025 outings mixed flashes with struggles: solid velocity (~95–98 mph fastball, plus two sliders), but uneven command
In his last start: 4 IP, 2 ER vs. LA Angels—inconsistent but showed upside post-rehab
Matchup Breakdown
Arm talent vs. control: Singer brings reliability and modest strikeout ability, though recent outings waver; Fitts has top‑raw stuff but lingering inconsistencies after injury.
Bullpen edges? Analysts favor Boston’s relievers (3.59 ERA vs. Reds’ pen)—this could be decisive in a close game.
Offense momentum: Reds powered by Elly De La Cruz’s .861 OPS in June (18 HR, 57 RBI), plus support from Trevino, Steer, Friedl. Red Sox have underperformed lately, but Miller and Duran have occasional sparks.
