Sun Sep 15 12:45:00 UTC 2024: ## Reds’ Rookie Lowder Aims for Fourth Straight Stellar Start in Minnesota

**Cincinnati, OH -** The Cincinnati Reds will travel to Minnesota this weekend, bringing with them rookie sensation Rhett Lowder, who is set to make his fourth start for the team. Lowder, 22, has made a strong impression in his first three outings, allowing only one run in over 15 innings pitched. However, his eight walks in those appearances remain a slight concern.

Lowder will face off against Minnesota’s David Festa, a 24-year-old who is making his 11th start for the Twins. Festa’s performance has been mixed so far, with a recent four-run outing against the Angels resulting in an early exit.

Despite the Twins’ home-field advantage, experts are favoring the Reds and Lowder, especially after their recent string of losses.

**Meanwhile, in a separate matchup:**

The Kansas City Royals ended their losing streak with a resounding 5-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bobby Witt Jr. led the Royals’ offense with a three-RBI day, including a home run in the first inning against Mitch Keller. Michael Wacha picked up his 13th win of the season for Kansas City.
