Tyler Mahle's homecoming start in Anaheim on June 25 got off to a tough start with a homer in each of the first two innings, but he settled in after to fire three scoreless frames. This will be his first start of the season against Milwaukee, which he last faced on June 30, 2018, in a 5 2/3-inning, three-run (one-earned) effort.

The Brewers' Adrian Houser was a successful reliever, but his one start didn't go well and he was yanked after two innings. The Reds have won six of their last seven at home and are 4-1 at Great American Ballpark in the last five home starts of Tyler Mahle. Cincy gets by call here on Monday night.
