It's a very light three-game MLB slate on Thursday, July 31, though there's the chance for more potential fireworks with the MLB trade deadline today at 6 p.m. ET. One of the contests is the Cincinnati Reds hosting the Atlanta Braves at 7:10 p.

The loss dropped the Reds to 56-52, and they'll need to win the July 30 series finale against the Dodgers to avoid their first sweep of the season. Cincinnati is scheduled to send starter Nick Martinez (9-9, 4.69 ERA) to the mound against probable Dodgers starter, Shohei Ohtani (0-0, 1.50 ERA).

Cincinnati pulls away with a big bottom of the 8th to secure a 5-2 victory.
