Cincinnati Reds vs Colorado Rockies Starting Lineup — Saturday, Jul 18, 2026
Final Lineups
Cincinnati Reds @ Colorado Rockies · Saturday, Jul 18, 2026
Cincinnati has a little more history against Tomoyuki Sugano, though most of it is still very limited. Spencer Steer has the best line in the group at 1-for-1 in 2 PA with a 2.000 OPS, while Sal Stewart is 1-for-3 with a .333 average and .666 OPS. Elly De La Cruz is hitless at 0-for-2 in 3 PA with a .333 OPS, and JJ Bleday, Eugenio Suárez, and Jose Trevino are each hitless in 2 at-bats, all with a .000 OPS. Noelvi Marte, Dane Myers, and Edwin Arroyo have no MLB history vs Sugano.
The home side has almost no familiarity with Rhett Lowder. Willi Castro is the lone batter with prior exposure, going 1-for-2 with a .500 average and 1.000 OPS. Jake McCarthy, Mickey Moniak, Cole Carrigg, TJ Rumfield, Troy Johnston, Edouard Julien, Brett Sullivan, and Ezequiel Tovar have no MLB history vs Lowder.
Cincinnati brings more hitters with at least some prior looks at the opposing starter, even if the sample is small and mostly unproductive. The home lineup is far less familiar with Lowder, with Castro standing as the only batter with any MLB track record against him.
