| |  | CINCINNATI: CINCINNATI (AP) - Bryan Price's father worked for a savings and loan that had San Francisco Giants season tickets and would make some of them available to employees.
Any team was good to see. Two were best.
''So you go in there and battle for tickets to certain games,'' Price said. ''And I would circle the Reds and the Dodgers.''
He loved how the franchises were stocked with stars. He knew it would be fun watching them play his hometown Giants. He even dreamed of some playing or working for one of those teams.
That's why the last six weeks of spring training left him with a too-good-to-be-true feeling at times. He's managing the Reds, one of those teams he loved to see.
''It's almost a constant, surreal experience for me at this point,'' he said in February.
The surreal part gave way to reality pretty fast.
Starter Mat Latos had knee surgery the day spring training opened. Closer Aroldis Chapman got hit in the head by a line drive and is out for at least a month after having a plate put into his forehead. Starter Homer Bailey strained his groin. Relievers Jonathan Broxton and Sean Marshall aren't ready to start the season.
| | CHICAGO CUBS: CHICAGO (AP) - Wrigley Field is decked out for the party of a century.
As for the Chicago Cubs?
It looks like there won't be much to celebrate this season other than their ballpark's 100th anniversary. As Wrigley hits a milestone, the Cubs remain in a rebuilding mode, hoping to avoid their fifth straight losing season.
They have a new manager in Rick Renteria. Their outlook looks about the same, though.
It's all about the future, the prized prospects in the system, no matter how painful that might be to the players in uniform at the major league level. More lumps appear to be in store for the Cubs as they enter their third year with Theo Epstein as president of baseball operations.
''The objective is to win as many games as possible, be the last man standing and bring a championship to the city of Chicago,'' pitcher Edwin Jackson said. ''The motivation is still the same. The message is still the same. We want to go out and win. We don't want to go out and be a pushover.''

*Reds-Cubs Preview* ===================
By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer
Cincinnati (71-78) at Chicago (65-83), 8:05 p.m. EDT
The Cincinnati Reds won't be a playoff team this year, which might be most perplexing to those who often see them play at Wrigley Field.
They begin the final two weeks of the season with their last trip to one of their favorite ballparks Monday night in the opener of a three-game series with the struggling Chicago Cubs.
The Reds (71-79), winners of 19 of 22 at Wrigley since Aug. 10, 2012, continue a nine-game trip against NL Central opponents after dropping two of three in Milwaukee to kick things off.
Sunday's 9-2 loss included more bullpen struggles with six earned runs allowed in two innings. Over 12 games, Cincinnati's relievers have a 5.92 ERA, though they might not need to be used much if Alfredo Simon can continue his dominance of Chicago (65-84).
Simon's four starts against the Cubs have produced a 3-0 record and 1.40 ERA while he's surrendered just one earned run in 13 innings at Wrigley.
Simon (14-10, 3.48 ERA) won for just the second time in 11 starts in Wednesday's 4-2 victory over St. Louis. The right-hander allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings after getting roughed up in his previous start.
"Every time I go out, I just try to fight to get the win," Simon told MLB's official website. "In the first inning, I just tried to keep fighting, keep fighting. Everything worked today. I got some run support today. I'm really happy I got the win. I'm proud of myself."
He'll now try for his first road win since June 18, a seven-start drought. His last five have resulted in a 0-4 record and 5.93 ERA.
Travis Wood gets the ball for Chicago following an extra day of rest to avoid facing Pittsburgh again after his worst start of the season in a 10-4 loss to the Pirates on Sept. 7. Wood (8-12, 5.03) lasted just 1 2-3 innings and allowed seven runs and nine hits, three of which left the yard.
"I think it's been a little bit of hit and miss," said manager Rick Renteria of the left-hander's year. "I think Travis is a much better pitcher than he's probably shown, and I think he'd be the first one to tell you that."
He's 1-3 with a 6.08 ERA in his last five starts, though the only strong outing in that time came against Cincinnati, his former team.
Wood held the Reds to two hits in a 3-0 victory Aug. 26 to improve to 2-1 with a 1.47 ERA in his last three matchups against them. Wood has held Zack Cozart to three hits in 23 at-bats with 10 strikeouts, while Jay Bruce is 5 for 21 with three home runs.
The Cubs begin a 10-game homestand with rookie right fielder Jorge Soler expected to be back after missing three games due to the birth of his first child. Soler is batting .356 with four home runs and 13 RBIs in 12 games, including a 4-for-8 mark with a home run in two against Cincinnati.
They could have used him in Sunday's 7-3 loss in Pittsburgh, their eighth defeat in nine games.
First baseman Anthony Rizzo's status is less certain due to a lower-back strain that has kept him out since Aug. 26.
