Jesse Winker Leading Off Opener, Adam Duvall On Bench
7 years agoThe Cincinnati Reds have outfielder Jesse Winker leading off on Opening Day. Veteran Adam Duvall finds himself on the bench while 2017 leadoff man Billy Hamilton will bat ninth. Winker will draw a tough matchup as he will be the first Red to take his cuts against 2017 National League Cy Young winner Max Scherzer. The Reds will counter with veteran Homer Bailey on the mound. Duvall is healthy but the Reds are going with a four-man rotation of Hamilton, Winker, Duvall, and Scott Schebler in the outfield this season. Look for Duvall to be in the lineup on Saturday.
