Over the past three matchups, Steer has demonstrated his prowess with an impressive batting average of .311 and an on-base percentage of .367.

In their previous encounter against the Cubs on May 23rd, Steer showcased his hitting capabilities with a remarkable performance, achieving a batting average of .600 and contributing significantly to the team's offensive efforts. His ability to maintain composure under pressure and deliver when it matters most makes him a formidable opponent for any pitching lineup.


Second Inning


The Reds' outfielders have also been instrumental in their recent performances. Will Benson and Austin Hays have both shown exceptional fielding skills, maintaining perfect fielding percentages across their last three games. Hays, in particular, has been a reliable asset with his consistent hitting performance, boasting an average of .383 over this period.


On the mound, Nick Lodolo has been leading the charge for the Reds' pitching staff. Despite facing some challenges with an ERA of 5.4 in his recent outing against the Cubs on May 25th, Lodolo's strikeout rate remains impressive at 10.8 per nine innings. His ability to bounce back from setbacks will be crucial as he faces off against the Royals' lineup.


Third Inning


Turning our attention to the Royals, Vinnie Pasquantino stands out as a key player for K.C., consistently delivering strong performances at bat. With an average of .583 over his last three games and an OPS of 1.6, Pasquantino poses a significant threat to any opposing pitcher.


Bobby Witt Jr., another standout for the Royals, has also been making waves with his defensive prowess and solid hitting stats. Witt's fielding accuracy is impeccable with no errors recorded in recent matches, coupled with a respectable batting average of .217.


Fourth Inning


As we look ahead to this exciting matchup between two competitive teams, it's clear that both sides have players capable of turning the tide in their favor. The Reds will rely heavily on Spencer Steer's offensive contributions and Nick Lodolo's resilience on the mound to counteract K.C.'s strong hitters like Vinnie Pasquantino.
