History will be made tonight in Cincinnati, Ohio as Major League Baseball will hold their 1st regular-season game between the Chicago White Sox & Cincinnati Reds.
The White Sox were involved in a 2008 exhibition Civil Rights Game in Memphis, Tennessee & lost 3-2 to the New York Mets.
Sox righthander Clayton Richard (2-1, 3.76 ERA) will be opposed by Reds righthander Johnny Cueto (6-4, 2.17 ERA) on Saturday.
Richard will face the Reds for the 1st time in his career on Saturday & is 1-o in 4 road starts this season with a 3.16 ERA.
Cueto enters Saturday’s start as the National League’s ERA leader (2.17) & has been nearly unhittable this month with a 2-1 record & 0.93 ERA in 2 starts.
