As the 2025 MLB regular season hurtles toward its climax, the Cincinnati Reds (82-78) face a pivotal showdown against the Milwaukee Brewers (96-64) at American Family Field. First pitch is set for 7:15 p.m. ET, with the game airing nationally on FOX—a nod to its stakes in the National League playoff race. This marks the second game of a crucial three-game series, following Cincinnati's 3-1 upset victory on Friday night, where the Reds evened the score in the NL Wild Card hunt.For the Reds, every at-bat feels like a referendum on their season. Clinging to the final Wild Card spot, tied with the New York Mets and a razor-thin margin over the Arizona Diamondbacks, Cincinnati enters desperate for momentum. Their offense, batting .245 with a .391 slugging percentage, relies on explosive talents like Elly De La Cruz, whose speed and power (29 home runs, 67 stolen bases) can ignite rallies, and Spencer Steer, a steady .265 hitter with 15 homers. Friday's win highlighted their resilience: timely hits from Jake Fraley and Jonathan India, backed by a pitching staff posting a 3.86 ERA. But injuries loom large—RHP Julian Aguiar (Tommy John recovery) and LHP Brandon Williamson (elbow strain) are sidelined, thinning the bullpen.

On the mound, lefty Andrew Abbott (9-7, 2.80 ERA, 3.65 FIP) takes the hill for the Reds. Abbott's command shines in high-pressure spots; his last start was a shutout gem against the Cubs, scattering just four hits over seven innings. With a 1.22 WHIP and pinpoint control, he could neutralize Milwaukee's patient lineup, especially if the cool September night favors his sinking fastball.

The Brewers, meanwhile, play with house money. Locked into the NL Central crown and eyeing the league's best record for home-field advantage through the playoffs (pending a Phillies slip), Milwaukee aims to cap a franchise-record 97-win campaign on a high note. Their pitching dominates with a 3.61 ERA and 1.23 WHIP, led by aces like Freddy Peralta (though unconfirmed for tonight). The lineup packs punch: Christian Yelich (.282, 29 HR, 102 RBI) anchors the middle, while Brice Turang (.271, 166 hits) and Sam Frelick (.291) provide table-setting contact. Yet Friday's loss exposed offensive rust—stranded runners and a sputtering bullpen (RHP Trevor Megill out with flexor strain, LHP DL Hall sidelined by oblique). LHP Robert Gasser (0-1, 6.00 ERA) is the projected starter, a wildcard in a rested rotation featuring Jose Quintana (calf) on the mend.
