Against Miami, the Reds struggled offensively with only three hits and zero hits with runners in scoring position. Brady Singer took the loss, pitching five innings and allowing two runs.

Miami Marlins Face Tough Pitching Matchup Against Cincinnati Reds as Trade Deadline Looms

The Miami Marlins have shown strong performance recently, however, the unfavorable pitching matchup raises concerns. There is speculation that Sandy Alcantara may be targeted by other teams at the trade deadline if the Marlins choose to sell, although his current statistics may impact the return value. With an ERA above seven and opposing hitters maintaining a .264/.333/.430 slash line against him, Alcantara's performance, particularly in road games, has been underwhelming. Conversely, Cincinnati Reds' pitcher, Abbott, has demonstrated consistent performance this season despite a challenging game against the Phillies. While Abbott has struggled in past matchups against the Marlins, his strong season performance suggests he may have the advantage in this upcoming game. Overall, the Reds may secure a victory if their offense regains momentum after recent lackluster performances.
