Cincinnati Reds Take Series From Marlins with 5-2 Win

W: Michael Lorenzen (3-2)

L: David Phelps (4-4)

SV: Aroldis Chapman (15)

Todd Frazier‘s hot streak continued and Michael Lorenzen turned in one of his best career starts as the Cincinnati Reds grabbed a series win over the Miami Marlins with a 5-2 Father’s Day win.

Lorenzen surrendered a run in the first inning, but Frazier picked up his teammate by blasting a two-run home run—his 23rd—in the bottom of the inning to give the Reds an early lead.

It looked like Lorenzen was destined for a rough start after Justin Bour touched him up for a home run in the second, but he settled down and shut the Marlins out the rest of the afternoon.
