Two teams not at all happy with recent results hope to vent their frustration on the other when the visiting Cincinnati Reds and the San Francisco Giants open a three-game series on Friday. Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott (1-4, 3.32 ERA) and Giants right-hander Logan Webb (3-3, 3.50) are the scheduled starters in the opener between a Cincinnati squad that has lost eight in a row and a San Francisco club coming off a 3-7 road trip. The Reds completed an 0-6 homestand with a 5-4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday. Cincinnati, which ranks last in the majors in team batting average (.211), is hoping a one-time Giant can rejuvenate its offense in his return to San Francisco.
