“Stinko” is Spanish for This Offense Stinks. The lifeless Reds have been shutout by Marlins pitching since the first inning of yesterday’s game. That’s 17 innings. A tough left hander will be a challenge for the LH-heavy Reds lineup, especially when Adam Duvall (.167/.248/.380) and Devin Mesoraco (.237/.293/.368) are struggling. The Reds and Marlins meet tomorrow afternoon at 4:10 p.m. to decide the series.
Tyler Mahle entered the game as one of the best young pitchers in baseball. He finished April with an xFIP of 3.51. The 23-year-old, making his seventh start of the season, pitched pretty well.
