Friday night lights shift to the diamond as the Cincinnati Reds host the Los Angeles Angels to kick off a new series. This interleague matchup features a compelling contrast: the Angels' potent, if streaky, offense led by Zach Neto and the legendary Mike Trout, against a Reds squad riding a wave of exceptional early-season pitching.

The spotlight will be firmly on Cincinnati's mound, where rookie sensation Chase Burns takes the ball. The 2024 draft's second overall pick has been nothing short of dominant, boasting a minuscule 0.82 ERA with 16 strikeouts over his first two big-league starts. He'll be challenged by an Angels team looking to ignite a spark on their seven-game road trip.

For the Reds, while Elly De La Cruz always brings electrifying potential, it's been Sal Stewart providing the consistent offensive firepower, slugging his way to a stellar 1.154 OPS to start the year. This game promises a fantastic battle between a rising pitching star and dangerous lineups.

First pitch from the Great American Ball Park is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. ET. Tonight's game will be broadcast exclusively as part of Apple TV's "Friday Night Baseball" package. You can stream the action through the Apple TV app on compatible smart TVs, streaming devices, and gaming consoles.
