The Cincinnati Reds bring a four-game winning streak into Tuesday night’s game against the Miami Marlins, and Sandy Alcantara is on the mound for Miami. First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. ET at loanDepot park.
Alcantara is 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA, a sharp start for a Marlins team that is 6-4 and sitting first in the NL East. Andrew Abbott starts for Cincinnati, which is 7-3 and second in the NL Central.
This is the kind of early-season game that can shape the tone for both clubs. Miami has the better division position for now, but Cincinnati arrives playing better baseball over the past week and looking to keep its winning streak alive against a pitcher who has not allowed a run.
