Marlins Extend MLB-Longest Road Win Streak to 11 with 12-2 Win over Reds

Nick Martinez endured a disastrous outing for the Cincinnati Reds, allowing 10 earned runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings in a 12-2 loss to the Miami Marlins. Despite starting strong with two scoreless innings, Martinez's struggles began in the third inning when the Marlins scored seven runs, marking a turning point in the game and causing his ERA to spike from 4.20 to 4.85. This performance has raised concerns about his reliability, as he has given up 14 earned runs in his last two starts and may face a move back to the bullpen after the All-Star break. The Marlins extended their franchise-record road winning streak to 11 games, with Eury Pérez delivering an effective start, limiting the Reds to just two runs and striking out eight. Meanwhile, the Reds' offense remained stagnant, scoring only one run in their last four games and struggling with runners in scoring position, fueling debate about the team's talent and coaching. Overall, the Reds' momentum has stalled, dropping them to .500 amid a series of defeats and offensive woes.
