Current odds:

Cincinnati Reds: (+220)

Los Angeles Dodgers: (-250)

 

• The Reds ended a seven-game losing streak Monday in the opener of a three-game series against the World Series champions with a 5-3 victory in 10 innings. The game came after a weekend when the Padres defeated the Dodgers three times in four games as Los Angeles lost a series for the first time this season.

• The Reds will send right-hander Jeff Hoffman (2-1, 2.66 ERA) to the mound Tuesday night to face Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler (1-0, 2.16). In his first season with the Reds, after five seasons with the Colorado Rockies, Hoffman has given up just one earned run in three of his first four outings. In his lone road start, he gave up three runs in 4 1/3 innings in an April 10 loss at Arizona. Hoffman is 1-0 in seven appearances (two starts) against the Dodgers with a 6.50 ERA and does not have a decision with a 4.15 ERA in three relief appearances (4 1/3 innings) at Dodger Stadium.

• Buehler is 1-2 with a 1.47 ERA in three career starts against the Reds, who have scored three earned runs and four unearned runs off the righty in 18 1/3 innings.

• The Dodgers continue to struggle with injuries as veteran left-hander David Price went on the injured list Monday. Price (hamstring) has a 5.59 ERA in seven relief appearances. The Dodgers did get infielder Gavin Lux (wrist) back from the IL and he delivered an RBI single in the fourth inning Monday. Cody Bellinger (calf) remains on the IL as does rookie standout Zach McKinstry (oblique). Chris Taylor missed a pair of games last week with a bad back.
