MIAMI (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds showcased their offensive prowess on Thursday night, defeating the Miami Marlins 10-4, highlighted by a dominant seven-run inning in the 10th. TJ Friedl led the charge with a home run and three RBIs, while Elly De La Cruz contributed three hits and stole his league-leading 59th base. Jeimer Candelario also made a significant impact with a two-run single, helping to break the game open after a tightly contested matchup. The game was tied 3-3 heading into the 10th inning, where the Reds capitalized on a series of missteps by Marlins reliever Emmanuel Ramirez, who failed to retire any of the six batters he faced. Tyler Stephenson's walk with the bases loaded put the Reds ahead, followed by Friedl being hit by a pitch. Spencer Steer's single extended the lead to 6-3, and Candelario's hit capped off Ramirez's outing, leading to further runs scored on a fielding error and a sacrifice fly. Reds relief pitcher Buck Farmer earned the win, pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings. The victory allowed the Reds to take three of four games in the series. Notably, Reds manager David Bell was ejected in the seventh inning for arguing balls and strikes, marking his 31st career ejection, a new club record. The Marlins managed to tie the game in the fourth inning, ending a streak of 24 scoreless innings for Reds starter Hunter Greene. Marlins pitcher Kyle Tyler struggled, allowing three runs and five hits over 4 1/3 innings. Meanwhile, the Marlins are monitoring the recovery of pitchers Josh Simpson and Braxton Garrett as they work through their respective injuries.
