Sam LeCure will make his first start of the season this afternoon for the Cincinnati Reds.
LeCure (Helias High School) will start for the Reds in their 12:05 p.m. home contest against the Houston Astros. LeCure originally was slated to start Saturday, but was moved up to give Reds starters Travis Wood and Bronson Arroyo an extra day of rest.
LeCure has pitched one scoreless inning of relief this season for the Reds.
