Cincinnati Reds
The Reds will send Tyler Mahle to the mound as they look to win their first road game of the year after slumping at home in the first week of the year. This will be the season debut for Mahle who went 7-9 last season with a 4.98 ERA in 23 appearances for the Reds.

Cincinnati is hoping the road trip will wake up their bats, as they have plated just 11 runs in their first 5 games on the year after getting blanked 1-0 in their last game against Milwaukee. Their biggest offseason acquisition, Yasiel Puig, is hitting just .188 with no home runs and only two RBIs.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Jordan Lyles will make his season debut for the Pirates on Thursday and hope to get off to a better start than he is used to at PNC Park. His career ERA in this park is 8.03 in 24 2/3 innings pitched, so a hot start is needed if he wants to get his first win of the year.
