After 6 games against the Miami Marlins in the last week, the Cincinnati Reds finally got the honor of facing off against Marlins’ ace Sandy Alcantara. And, just like most other teams this season, the Reds had trouble getting much of anything going against him. The Reds had their best threat in the top of the first inning, loading the bases with 1 out after hits by Jonathan India and Joey Votto and a walk by Mike Moustakas, but 2 ground outs to Alcantara ended that threat.
Mike Minor was also cruising for the first few innings, but allowed a solo home run to Jesus Aguilar gave the Marlins a 1-0 lead which was enough for the Marlins to take home the win.
