Lodolo will make his best pitch to strengthen the Cincinnati Reds' postseason aspirations on Friday when he takes the mound at home against the playoff-bound Chicago Cubs in the second contest of their four-game series. I'm not saying we can only win if we have fans (show up) ... (But it's) something we strive for. The Cubs (88-65), in turn, struggled to find their offense on the heels of clinching a postseason berth on Wednesday. Lodolo has not recorded a decision in three starts (12 2/3 innings) against the Cubs this season. Austin Hays collected two of the Reds' four hits in the series opener.
