CINCINNATI (Interstat) — The Milwaukee Brewers open a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night at Great American Ball Park, with first pitch scheduled for 7:10 p.m. EDT. Right-hander Brady Singer (3-6, 4.12 ERA) is the listed probable starter for the Brewers, who enter the game with the National League’s best record at 46-29. Singer, acquired from the Colorado Rockies in the offseason, has struggled with consistency but faced the Reds twice this season, posting a 1-1 record and a 3.60 ERA over 10 innings. Right-hander Chase Burns (4-0, 2.25 ERA) is slated to start for Cincinnati. The 23-year-old rookie has been dominant in his first major league season, allowing one earned run or fewer in four of his last five starts. The Reds (37-39) are three games under .500 but have won seven of their last 10. The forecast calls for rain and temperatures near 76 degrees, which could complicate conditions. Milwaukee is coming off a 9-4 victory Sunday against the Atlanta Braves, in which left-hander Robert Gasser earned his second straight win. Gasser, who will not start Monday, threw 6 innings, allowing 4 hits and 2 earned runs while striking out 7. Catcher William Contreras went 4-for-5 with a home run and 3 RBIs, and right fielder Sal Frelick drove in 2 runs. The Brewers have won four of their last six. Cincinnati defeated the New York Yankees 4-1 on Sunday, with Burns earning the win. He threw 5 innings, allowing 1 earned run on 5 hits with 7 strikeouts. Catcher Tyler Stephenson hit a three-run home run, and reliever Tony Santillan threw 1⅔ scoreless innings. The Reds have won two straight. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 5-4 Reds victory. Despite that, Milwaukee is installed as a -1.5 favorite on the run line, with the over/under set at 9 runs. Gasser, a key player for Milwaukee, has posted a 2.25 ERA over his last two outings covering 11⅔ innings. Burns, the Reds’ rookie phenom, has yielded 1 earned run or fewer in four of his last five starts, striking out 39 in 26⅔ innings over that span. The Brewers remain atop the NL Central, while the Reds sit fourth in the division. The series continues Tuesday and Wednesday in Cincinnati before the teams meet again next week in Milwaukee for a four-game set.
