On a day that's treated like a local holiday, two of the National League's oldest franchises will come together Thursday to open the 2025 season when the Reds host the Giants at Great American Ball Park.

The Opening Day lineup for the Cincinnati Reds has posted. This is the Reds team first-year Cincinnati manager Terry Francona will field to kick off the 2025 season against the San Fransisco Giants at Great American Ball Park (4:10 p.m.). Hunter Greene is the Reds' starting pitcher.

Marlana VanHoose from Denver, Ky., performed the national anthem. Two KC-135 Stratotankers from the 121st Air Refueling Wing of the Ohio Air National Guard (based at Rickenbacker Air National Guard Base in Columbus) performed a flyover during the song.
