India scratched from Reds’ lineup due to migraine
Jonathan India was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup due to a migraine. The Reds are sticking with their plan to give Elly De La Cruz the day off, so this means Spencer Steer, who was due to play first, will make his first start at second base this year. Jacob Hurtubise entered the lineup as the left fielder.
Freeman collects two hits vs. SF
Freddie Freeman went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a walk against the Giants on Wednesday. Freeman drew a walk in the third inning, then knocked a base hit in the fifth. He reached for a third time with a single to lead off the eighth and came around to score on a single and a sacrifice fly. The 34-year-old first baseman is hitting .297/.408/.455 with four homers, 26 runs scored, 24 RBI, and one steal across 201 plate appearances.
