The Reds will start Mike Minor tonight who is 0-1 for the season with an 11.25 ERA while the Diamondbacks will start with Merrill Kelly tonight who is 4-3 for the season with a 3.66 ERA. Arizona won lost the opening two games of the season but won the last three visits in Cincinnati last season. Kelly is pretty confident pitcher and will lead his team to a win that will cut their losing streak to four games.
