Schwellenbach, Lodolo square off in Braves-Reds finale
Briefly

The Braves and Reds concluded their four-game series with an intriguing pitching duel featuring Spencer Schwellenbach and Nick Lodolo. Schwellenbach, once dominant, struggled recently, allowing 17 runs over his last 21.1 innings due to issues with his fastball location. In contrast, Lodolo, after three solid outings, experienced a setback with a poor performance against the Nationals. Known for his effective changeup, he will be essential against the Braves, who are looking to capitalize against lefty starters. The game is set to start at 7:15 p.m. ET, with both pitchers aiming for a turnaround.
Spencer Schwellenbach has struggled after a strong start to the season, allowing 17 runs in his last 21.1 innings and potentially overexposing his fastball.
Nick Lodolo has been generally effective, but a recent poor outing needs addressing as he faces a Braves lineup that has been adept against left-handed pitchers.
