Can we salvage a split in this 4 game series? Frazier isn?t starting. We?d be pissed as hell if Brad sat someone in the midst of back to back multi-homer games.

Verlander is making his second start this season after giving up 3 hits, 2 runs and 2 walks in his debut against the Indians. Verlander is 25-3 with a 2.89 ERA in 33 starts against National League opponents. JV is a career .063 hitter. He?s 2 for 32 with both hits coming last year.

Leake?s only win in his last seven starts came in his last outing in Cincinnati. The right-hander allowed three runs -- two earned -- in six innings of a 6-4 win against Philadelphia on June 8. He has a 3.32 ERA in three starts this month and did not allow more than 3 runs in any of those starts. Leake is 5 for 31 (.161) with the bat in his hands this season. He?s a career .227 hitter and has hit 5 home runs in his Reds career.

Only 4 Tiger batters have ever faced Leake and they are a combined 3 for 16 (.188) against him. JD is 2 for 6.

Miggy has a six-game hitting streak and is 11 for 22 with 12 RBIs in those six games. He has reached base safely in 33 of his past 34 games.

Soria has given up a home run in 3 of his last 4 appearances. He had only given up 2 home runs in his prior 23 appearances this season.

Frazier has punished the Tigers in 6 career meetings, batting .409 with 14 RBI, and has one hit in three at-bats against Verlander. He is the 1st Reds player since Barry Larkin in 1991 to have consecutive multi-homer games.

Current Reds players are a combined 6 for 25 (.240) against JV. Skip Schumaker (2 for 6) is the only Reds player with more than one hit against him.

The National Weather Service says that showers and thunderstorms are likely both during the day and in the evening.
 
Start is delayed due to rain...and it looks like more rain on the way once this cell leaves the area.
 
A makeup date was not immediately announced. The teams have mutual off-days scheduled for Aug. 3, 17 and 24 as well as Sept. 17.

Aug 3rd seems to make sense. The Reds are finishing up a home series on Aug 2nd and we'd just be traveling from Baltimore on Aug 2nd.
