BOTTOM LINE: The Cincinnati Reds lead 1-0 in a three-game series against the Chicago Cubs. Chicago is 35-21 in home games and 65-47 overall. Cubs hitters are batting a collective .254, the fourth-best team batting average in MLB play.

However, the Reds challenged. Upon further review, Swanson missed the bag at first and by the time he dragged his foot over the top of the bag, Steer had already caught the ball. The call was overturned and the Reds help onto a 3-2 lead, a lead they would not surrender the rest of the night.

The Reds opened the series with a 3-2 win off a RBI single in the seventh inning. Despite the win, the Cubs still own the season edge, 4-3. Let's dive into the matchup and find a sweat or two. We’ve got all the info and analysis you need to know ahead of the game,
