The Cardinals look to avoid the sweep vs. the Texas Rangers by using the same lineup as Tuesday but with defensive rearrangements.

Rookie sensations Jordan Walker and Elly De La Cruz face off for the first time in the series opener between the Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds.

CINCINNATI — FC Cincinnati's Miles Robinson will march in the Parade of Nations for the United States this Summer at the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad in Paris, France. Well, it's still being determined if he will actually be with the American contingent on the River Seine, as the soccer team will be located in Marseille for its matches, but he will be an Olympian.

CINCINNATI — FC Cincinnati didn't deserve any luck. Head Coach Pat Noonan made that very clear in his post-match press conference, saying as much to leave no doubt. The Orange and Blue couldn't catch a break when they needed one most and found themselves on the losing end of a 3-1 match that, despite the poor performance, could have ended very differently.

CINCINNATI — After a disappointing weekend result, FC Cincinnati is eager to turn the page to the future as The Orange and Blue welcome Chicago Fire FC to TQL Stadium Wednesday night. The midweek matchup comes just days after the 3-1 defeat over the weekend and allows FCC to rebound quickly and get back to winning ways as they look to finish the week strong.

CINCINNATI — Wednesday night at TQL Stadium, FC Cincinnati players and coaches felt that the match's outcome, a 2-1 loss that saw The Orange and Blue take two red cards, was the amalgamation of frustrations boiling over.

CINCINNATI — The 2023 Leagues Cup saw FC Cincinnati bow out earlier than they hoped, but they were not overly devastated by the result of the tournament. A defeat in PK's to Nashville SC left FCC sour, but with a packed calendar still ahead including the US Open Cup, the rest of the regular season and then MLS Cup playoffs still to follow, there was plenty to turn focus to and think about.

CINCINNATI — The break from regular season action came at a welcome time for FC Cincinnati. After a strong first half of the season, a bad week put a sour taste in everyone's mouth as The Orange and Blue looked to overcome challenges to their health and, therefore, depth. But now the fresh start in Leagues Cup allows for FC Cincinnati to compete and win its mojo back in games that do not impact the clubs regular season.

CINCINNATI — FC Cincinnati enters the second group stage match of the 2024 Leagues Cup knowing they are moving on to the knockout stages. A unique wrinkle of Leagues Cup and the three-team pools that make up the group stages of the international tournament. A win over Querétaro FC of Liga MX in game one of the tournament for The Orange and Blue secured their spot in the knockout stages with three points, so this match will only help sort out seeding.

CINCINNATI — If you saw Paul Walters smile just a little bigger than everyone else last Thursday night when FC Cincinnati took a 1-0 lead over Club Querétaro, you can understand why now. Walters, 20, was told prior to that match that if FC Cincinnati won their opening game in Leagues Cup to secure their passage to the knockout stages, he would be in line to make his first team debut in the second match of the group stage.
