PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies LH Jason Vargas (6-7, 4.31 ERA) vs. Reds RH Sonny Gray (10-6, 2.80)

Vargas fell to 0-2 with a 5.18 ERA in six starts since being acquired from the New York Mets after allowing five runs in four-plus innings of a 6-3 setback against his former team. The 36-year-old pitched well in a no-decision versus Cincinnati on April 30, permitting one run in three hits in 5 1/3 frames. Eugenio Suarez belted a solo homer off Vargas in the sixth inning of that contest to improve to 5-for-10 with three extra-base hits against the hurler.

Gray sports a 4-0 record with an 0.74 ERA in his last six starts after walking away with a no-decision despite allowing one unearned run in 6 2/3 innings at St. Louis on Saturday. "I very easily could have given up four or five runs," the 29-year-old said. "The plays that we made were really game-saving plays, at least three of them. The outfield made some great catches and some great play." Gray also received a no-decision against Philadelphia on June 9 after permitting three runs on four hits in 5 2/3 frames.

These teams have split wins and losses over their last ten meetings.
