Wrigley Field will once again be home on Saturday afternoon to a game between the National League Central division rivals, the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago Cubs. The Reds will be led in this game by starting pitcher Tony Cingrani, while the home team will counter with Edwin Jackson.

Cingrani, the 24-year-old native of Evergreen, Ill. is in his 3rd season as a Major League Baseball player and is off to a nice start for the Reds. After going 7-4 in 18 starts a year ago, he is 1-1 this season through his first 3 starts with 5 earned runs allowed in 17 1/3 innings on 10 hits and 9 walks. He has recorded 20 strikeouts and will look to continue his success against the Cubs. In limited experience against the current roster, he has limited them to a .175 average. Anthony Rizzo has the most hits of any Cub against him with 2 (in 9 trips).

Jackson is currently in his 12th season in the majors and will be looking to give the Cubs a better performance in this start than his previous 2 outings. In those starts, he has allowed 10 earned runs in 10 2/3 innings. He is currently 0-1 and will look to continue his great success against the current Reds. Cincinnati has a .228 average against him with 3 home runs, including 2 from Joey Votto.
