Cubs Try To Turn Around Skid Against Reds

Stay connected for news and updates

After losing their seventh straight game on Monday evening, the Cubs are searching for anyone who can lead them to a victory again. On Tuesday they'll see if Doug Davis can turn his season around and get them a badly needed win.

Davis has had a bit of a rough season filling in in the Cubs rotation. On the year, he's 0-4 with a 5.95 ERA and 1.73 WHIP. Davis is coming off of a start against Houston in which he gave up three runs on eight hits over 6.1 innings pitched, but took the loss anyway. In his career against Cincinnati, Davis is 6-3 with a 3.31 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. Joey Votto is 2-for-4 against Davis in his career with a double.

Pitching for the Reds will be recently returned starter Edinson Volquez. After some early season troubles,  Volquez had a brief stint in the minor leagues, where he was 1-0 with a 1.88 ERA. Now he's been recalled and the Reds are hoping he can carry that performance back into the majors. In his career against the Cubs, he's 3-0 with a 2.43 ERA and 1.02 WHIP.

The weather in Cincinnati is expected to be clear and hot, with a game time temperature in the upper-80s. First pitch will be at 6:10 P.M., CDT, and the game will be televised on CSN and FS-O.
