Cincinnati Reds Snap Losing Streak with All-Star Abbott's Strong Start Against Miami

Andrew Abbott, newly named to the National League All-Star team, delivered a dominant performance for the Cincinnati Reds, pitching 7 2/3 innings and allowing just one earned run in a 7-2 victory over the Miami Marlins. Abbott's strong outing snapped the Reds' four-game losing streak and ended the Marlins' 11-game road winning streak, improving his record to 8-1 with a 2.07 ERA for the season. Fellow All-Star Elly De La Cruz contributed significantly with two RBI doubles, while Noelvi Marte and Will Benson added home runs to bolster the Reds' offense. Abbott's modest demeanor was evident as he declined to take a curtain call despite a standing ovation from fans. The Reds' offense capitalized early against struggling pitcher Sandy Alcantara, scoring three runs in the first inning and three more in the fourth to build a commanding lead. Overall, Abbott's consistent excellence has been a key factor in the Reds' success, with his ability to limit earned runs in most starts and strong support from his teammates.
