• In 2022 the Brewers won 4 of last season’s 6 series and 13 of the 19 games.
• For the second time in 3 seasons, the Reds and Brewers will meet in the
series on each side of the All-Star Game…in 2021, the Reds went 3-1
at Mil to end the first half and were swept in the 3-game home series
after the break…in that 2021 series, the Reds faced the same opponent
in 7 consecutive games for the first time since 6/30-7/4, 1953, when,
coincidentally, they went 4-3 vs the Milwaukee Braves…in 2022, the
Reds and Cardinals met on each side of the All-Star Game (0-2, 1ppd at
StL & 2-1 vs StL).
• The Brewers’ 3-game sweep from 5/3-5/5, 2022 was their first series sweep
vs the Reds at American Family Field since 4/24-4/26, 2017…the Redlegs

against any team in a single season and the most allowed to any team

pitchers’ single-season HR allowed list (38hr), behind the 2016 Cubs
(42hr)…@EliasSports.
• The 18 runs scored by the Brewers in an 18-4 win on 5/4/22 at AFF was

series wins August 2018.

winning percentage of any Giants opponent since then (minimum 50g).
FIRST-PLACE REDS

• Their 9 stolen bases on 6/3 vs Mil (Jake Fraley 3, Spencer Steer 2,
Jonathan India 2, Will Benson, Stuart Fairchild) was their highest single-game total since 5/30/1976 vs LAD (9sb)…the

RED HOTS
• Elly De La Cruz and Spencer Steer on Tue at Wsh became the first set of rookie teammates in Major League history to
finish in the same game 4-for-4 with at least 1 RBI (since RBI became an official statistic in 1920)…courtesy @EliasSports.

Tonight’s Pitcher – #41 Andrew Abbott, LHP

RED HOTS • On June 1 turned 24 years old.
• Tonight is making his seventh Major League appearance and start…will be his second appearance vs Mil (ML debut on 6/5 at GABP).
• In Sun’s 4-3 win vs SD recorded a career-high 12 strikeouts, tied for the most by a Reds pitcher this season (Nick Lodolo, 4/8 at Phi)…following consecutive
1-out singles in the first inning retired 15 consecutive batters…allowed only a solo HR to Ha-Seong Kim, his final batter…left leading, 2-1, but was the victim of
a blown save when Fernando Tatis Jr. tied it with a solo HR off Lucas Sims.
• In his first 6 career apps has stopped team losing streaks of 4, 2 and 3 games…in 4 starts overall following losses is 3-0, 0.71.
• Is 1 of only 4 Reds pitchers since 1893, when the mound was moved to its current distance, to begin his career with 4 or 5 wins without a loss in his first 5 career
starts (Mel D. Queen, 4-0 in 1967; Pat Zachry, 4-0 in 1976; Santo Alcala, 5-0 in 1976)…courtesy @EliasSports.
• Since 1912, when earned runs became an official statistic in the National League, his 1.21 ERA is the second-lowest by a Reds pitcher after 6 career starts
(LHP Tom Browning, 0.95, 1984-85)…courtesy @EliasSports.
• Since the mound was moved to its current distance in 1893, is the only Major League pitcher to begin his career with 3 consecutive scoreless starts of at least
5.0 innings…@EliasSports.
• Began his career with 17.2 scoreless innings, a new club record since 1893, until Col’s Brenton Doyle hit a leadoff HR in Abbott’s fourth start…the previous team
record was held Wayne Simpson, who in 1970 began his Major League career with 15.0 scoreless innings…@EliasSports.
• Joined the Reds’ Taxi Squad on 6/4…the next night vs Mil made his Major League debut after just 41 minor league apps (39gs, 14-7, 3.45)…in 10 starts this
season for Chattanooga and Louisville went 4-0, 2.50 (54ip, 33h, 17bb, 90k, .171baa)…when promoted led minor league baseball in strikeouts (90k, 54ip).
• In his Major League debut, threw 6.0 scoreless innings to earn the 2-0 win vs Mil and snap the Reds’ 4-game losing streak…became the only Reds pitcher since
1893, when the mound was moved to its current distance, to produce in his Major League debut at least 6.0 scoreless innings while allowing fewer than 2 hits…
didn’t allow a hit until Joey Wiemer doubled with 1 out in the top of the fifth inning…first career strikeout was Christian Yelich.
• Is 1 of 11 Reds players to make his Major League debut this season and 1 of 15 rookies to appear in a game.
• Began the season at Class AA Chattanooga (3gs, 1-0, 1.15)…on 4/25 was promoted to Class AAA Louisville (7gs, 3-0, 3.05).
