Hoo boy did the Reds need this one. After losing 3 of 4 to the Cubs and getting swept by the last-place Washington Nationals, the Reds welcomed the Miami Marlins to town Monday night. The Marlins, who are a team who the Reds could be fighting with for a Wild Card spot in September if the division were out of reach, are also on a little skid. They came into the game losing their last 4 games and 6 of the last 7. This was the start to an important series and the Reds were able to take advantage, defeating the Marlins 5-2.
