MLB Lineups Today: Complete Batting Orders and Starting Pitchers for Cubs vs. Reds, Phillies vs. Athletics & More

May 25 serves up a fresh batch of MLB showdowns packed with storylines and big names ready to leave their mark. In Cincinnati, the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds square off at Great American Ball Park, where Kyle Tucker’s red-hot bat and Ben Brown’s precision on the mound headline Chicago’s push to stay atop the NL Central.

The Reds will lean on the electric Elly De La Cruz and his clutch bat to keep pace in what’s shaping up to be a tightly contested divisional stretch.

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Phillies roll into Sutter Health Park riding the momentum of an nine-game winning streak. Trea Turner’s consistency at the plate and Kyle Schwarber’s jaw-dropping power have made Philly one of the league’s toughest lineups to navigate.

Opposing them, the Athletics counter with their slugger Brent Rooker, who’s launched 12 long balls this season, while Gunnar Hogland (1-2 5.06 ERA) takes the ball hoping to cool down baseball’s hottest team.

It’s a day of big bats, tight races and midseason intensity you won’t want to miss.
