Cincinnati Reds Shortstop Elli de la Kruz (44) made a base hit in the first innings between Cincinnati Reds and Miami Marlins on Wednesday, July 9, 2025 at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. All-star Andrew Abbott made a shutout in the eighth innings for host Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night, who topped Miami Marlins 7–2 after the back-to-back defeat to start a four-game set.
Fellow all-star Elli de la Cruz was a pair of RBI doubles for Reds, who lost the four-game losing streak for the first time since June 7 and avoided falling under 500. Austin Hees and Tyler Stephenson hit a three-run Homer to kill De La Cruise with the first run-scoring solo. Will Banson added a single shot to the eighth.
Herberto Hernandez spoiled Abbott’s shutout bid with an RBI single for Marlins, which lost for only the fourth time in 16 matches. Connor Norbi reached the ninth position.
Abbott (8–1), which was chosen to replace Los Angeles Does Pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto on Tuesday, allowed six hits and two walks during four hits. Lafti has surrendered one in 12 out of its 16 runs or less in this season.
Tony Senilan reached the eighth position after the doubles of Ramirez, before Emilio Pagan surrendered the Norbi’s homer in a non-service position in the ninth.
Mart made two hits for Reds, who received a hit from every starter. Matt McClen added the basis of a theft.
Five players made a hit for Marlins, who recorded less than six hits for the fifth time in their last 35 matches on 1 June.
Sandy Alakantara (4-9) suffered losses after giving six runs on nine hits and after a walking journey after exiting four in five innings. Former National League Cym Young Award winner has scored 7.22 ERA in his first season after Tommy John Surgery and has given at least five runs out of eight of his 18.
