Reds Snap Marlins' Win Streak, Extend Their Own

0:00It's April 8th, I'm Cory with the story. This is MLB News Today, driven by AI and Bill for baseball fans. Cincinnati Reds just handed the Miami Marlins a 6-3 loss in 10 innings, pushing their winning streak to 5-game straight. They're now 8-3 overall, matching their best start since 2011, and perfect at 5-0 on the road. Sandy Alcantara was dealing a two-hit shutout into the ninth, extending his scoreless streak to 24 innings this season. But the Reds chipped away, chasing him with a double from Matt McClain, a walk, a double steal, and a wild pitch from Reliever Anthony Bender that tied. It up at 2. McClain owned the night, ripping two doubles and driving in two runs, while the Reds finally committed their first era of the year in the 6th. Miami had grabbed a brief lead earlier, with groundouts from Otto Lopez and Heriberto Hernandez. In the 10th, Nathaniel Lowe singled home the go-ahead run-off Calvin Foucher, then McClain crushed a two-run double, and Ellie Dela Cruz added an RBI, grounder for four run outburst.

1:04The Marlins got one back, but Graham Ashcraft induced the game-ending double play. Reds reliever Emilio Pagan locked down the ninth to earn the win, and tomorrow its Brady singer facing Yuri Perez in Game 3 of the series.
