Cubs Aim to Close the First Half Strong in Cincinnati

The Chicago Cubs head to Great American Ball Park for a three-game set vs the Cincinnati Reds, aiming to finish the first half strong while Cincinnati fights to salvage a rough season. The Reds are last in the NL Central and under .500, but hit left-handed pitching better than right-handed pitching; the Cubs counter with two lefties in Imanaga and Boyd. The pitching matchups are Imanaga vs Greene (Fri), Assad vs Lodolo (Sat), and Boyd vs Abbott (Sun). Offense is led by PCA, Suzuki, and Swanson for the Cubs, while Happ has struggled vs lefties; injuries on both sides add to the storyline, including Justin Steele on the Cubs’ 60-day IL. The takeaway: early in the series leans Reds, later edges toward Cubs, with a toss-up overall as the teams try to close the half on a high note.

Pirates Pitcher Devenski Hit With Three-Game Ban Over Sal Stewart Incident

MLB suspended Pirates right-hander Chris Devenski for three games and fined him after the league deemed he intentionally threw at Reds infielder Sal Stewart in Saturday’s game; Pirates manager Don Kelly received a one-game ban. The suspension goes into effect tonight unless Devenski appeals, in which case he would be eligible to pitch during the process. Devenski, who had just joined the Pirates from Triple-A Indianapolis, has appeared in 2 2/3 MLB innings with two runs allowed on five hits and three strikeouts. If he doesn’t appeal, Pittsburgh will be short a pitcher for three games, though the bullpen was fresh after an off day.

ABS controversy in Cincinnati: Bucknor’s six overturned calls in chaotic Reds-Sox game

Umpire CB Bucknor’s day at Great American Ball Park drew attention as MLB’s Automated Ball-Strike System overturned six of eight challenged calls in Cincinnati, including two back-to-back strikes against Red Sox rookie Ryan Watson after Eugenio Suarez’s challenges. Bucknor also ejected Boston manager Alex Cora following a heated, non-reviewable check-swing call by Trevor Story, during a game the Reds won 6-5 in 11 innings after Dane Myers’ walk-off. Boston had tied it in the ninth on Wilyer Abreu’s homer. The affair underscored the ongoing debate over ABS and umpiring in baseball.
