Overview

  • Monday night’s game at Great American Ball Park was postponed because of severe thunderstorms and rescheduled as a split doubleheader for Tuesday with a 1:40 p.m. ET makeup and the regularly scheduled 7:10 p.m. ET game.
  • Cincinnati will send Chase Burns to start the 1:40 p.m. game while Cleveland will start Slade Cecconi, and Gavin Williams is lined up to start the night game as the Guardians, with the Reds planning to use an opener for Game 2.
  • Fans holding Monday tickets may use the same ticket for Tuesday’s 1:40 p.m. game or exchange it for another regular-season Sunday–Friday game subject to availability, and gates and promotional details were adjusted for both games.
  • It is unclear whether ESPN will carry the afternoon makeup or defer to the Reds’ local or in-house broadcast, leaving national-television plans uncertain for viewers.
  • The doubleheader will compress both teams’ rotations and raise short-term bullpen strain, a notable issue for Cleveland given its recent multi-game losing streak and for Cincinnati as it manages a middling season standing.
