Dodgers and Reds open a three-game series Monday at Dodger Stadium

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds face off Monday night at Dodger Stadium for the first of three games. This series marks the first time the two National League teams have played one another this season despite the Dodgers having already completed 143 games. Emmet Sheehan is slated to provide bulk innings for the Dodgers, though it is not yet confirmed whether he will start or enter after an opener. The Reds counter with second-year right-hander Chase Burns. Because the game falls on Labor Day, the first pitch is scheduled for 6:10 p.m., an hour earlier than the club's standard start time. This matchup begins a stretch where the teams will play seven times over the next 11 days, with the remaining four games set for next week at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.
