Heading to the hill for the Indians in the series finale this afternoon is Mitch Talbot. The right-hander, who is in search of just his third win of 2011, saw limited time with the big club in April and May but managed to work his way into five starts last month.
Talbot, who has had some issues with his control so far this season, has a record of 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA in his career versus the Reds.
In that matchup the California native allowed only four hits and a pair of walks, while striking out three through six innings of action to snap a personal two-game slide.
Despite being the top scoring team in the NL Central, the Reds are currently just 42-42 and are fourth in the standings, three games off the pace set by Milwaukee and St. Louis. Additionally, Cincinnati is now a mere 5-12 in interleague play this season, compared to the Tribe which has taken 11 of 17 outings.
Kevin Correia, who has a two-game winning streak, gets the ball for the Pirates. He's pitched six innings in each of those games, most recently at Toronto on Tuesday when the righty allowed five hits and four runs. He's 2-2 with a 3.28 ERA in 11 games (4 starts) all time against the Nationals.
The teams split a doubleheader yesterday. Ivan Rodriguez slapped a pinch-hit, RBI single in the eighth inning to lead the Nationals to a 4-3 win in the nightcap.
Trailing 3-2 entering the eighth of the second contest, the Nationals tied the game as pinch-runner Brian Bixler stole third and came home on a throwing error from rookie catcher Eric Fryer.
Tony Watson (0-1) allowed the decisive hit.
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Winners in nine of their last 11 contests, the Giants will wrap up their weekend set today against the Tigers hoping for their first extended series road sweep of the season. The Giants haven't swept a series of the road of at least three games since taking four in a row from Arizona, July 22-25 last season. They did take a two-game set at Dodger Stadium this year.
Barry Zito (2-1) tossed six scoreless innings around a lengthy rain delay. He gave up five hits in the victory. Guillermo Mota allowed three runs on four hits over three innings of relief to pick up his first save of the season.
Brennan Boesch and Jhonny Peralta each hit solo homers for the Tigers, who have lost four of five.
