Detroit @ Cincinnati preview

Last Meeting ( Jun 16, 2015 ) Cincinnati 5, Detroit 2

One day after ending their losing streak, the Cincinnati Reds look to make it two wins in a row Wednesday, when they host the Detroit Tigers as the four-game interleague series shifts to Great American Ball Park. After beginning the set with a 6-0 defeat that extended its skid to three games, Cincinnati earned a split at Comerica Park on Tuesday with a 5-2 triumph.

Todd Frazier homered twice and Jay Bruce also went deep for the Reds, who totaled four runs during their slide. Miguel Cabrera's streak of four consecutive multi-hit performances came to an end as he went 1-for-2 with an RBI. The slugger is 10-for-17 with nine RBIs over his last five games, driving in at least one run in each contest. The loss was only the third in nine games for the Tigers, who were held to fewer than three runs for the first time since a 6-1 setback against Oakland on May 3.

Price has made two career starts versus Cincinnati, going 1-0 with a 1.69 ERA.

Cueto, who never has faced Detroit, will be starting at home for only the third time in his last eight turns.
