Andrew Abbott Seeks Sharp Outing Before Opening Day

Andrew Abbott will start for the Reds on Monday against the Diamondbacks, looking to improve upon a difficult spring. Through 11 innings across four Cactus League starts, Abbott has yielded 12 earned runs on 16 hits, including four home runs. While he has maintained a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio of 14:4, he is aiming for a more successful outing to build confidence before his scheduled Opening Day start.
