Reds Recap: Marlins take Game 2

ByTyler Mercurio|

Almost an identical flip from Friday night’s game, the Miami Marlins beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-0 at Great American Ball Park. Even more impressive than that was the fact that Justin Nicolino made his Major League debut.

Game Summary:

Reds Starting Pitcher,Anthony DeSclafani,cruised through the first three inning, then ran into trouble in the fourth.Derek Deitrichled off the inning with a homerun to deep Right Field, 1-0 Miami.Christian Yelichwould then double andGiancarlo Stantonwould follow that up with a single. After aMarcell Ozunapop fly to shallow Right Field,Justin Bourwould hit a high chopper just to the left-hand side of DeSclafani. The only play thatBrandon Phillipshad was to go to First Base on the throw. Yelich would come in to score and Stanton would advance to second base, 2-0 Miami. The next Marlin to step to the plate,J.T. Realmutowould collect a double of his own to drive in Stanton from Second Base, 3-0 Marlins. That would conclude the scoring in the fourth.
