Game Thread: Jameson Taillon leads quest for series win

Jameson Taillon faces young gun Tyler Mahle in today’s 1:35 p.m. game looking to get the Pirates a series win over the Reds, which, unexciting as it might sound, hasn’t been the most common thing in recent years.

Gregory Polanco is apparently good to go after fouling a ball off his foot Friday and sitting out Saturday.

The lineups:

Reds

1. Jesse Winker, RF
2. Eugenio Suarez, 3B
3. Joey Votto, 1B
4. Scooter Gennett, 2B
5. Adam Duvall, LF
6. Tucker Barnhart, C
7. Jose Peraza, SS
8. Tyler Mahle, P
9. Billy Hamilton, CF
