Anaheim, California; Monday, 9:38 p.m. EDT PITCHING PROBABLES: Reds: Brady Singer (10-9, 4.31 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 119 strikeouts); Angels: Victor Mederos (0-0, 5.63 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, seven strikeouts) BOTTOM LINE: The Los Angeles Angels host the Cincinnati Reds on Monday to open a three-game series.

The bullpen desperately needed some rest and Singer, Phillips, Mey, and Barlow helped them get an extra day's rest while also still securing a win. The Reds improved to 66-60 on the season and now sit just one game back of the New York Mets for the third and final National League Wild Card spot.
