Jake Fraley hasn’t yet homered today, though that’s surely just a matter of time.
The Cincinnati Reds and their red-hot outfielder have bonked the Miami Marlins around for a trio of homers and a pair of victories already in this series in south Florida, and while Jake is not in the starting lineup this afternoon, he’s a good bet to send another meatball flying to the moon later anyway.
Jake sits to begin this one because of the presence of lefty starter Braxton Garrett on the lineup card, and the Reds have stacked their lineup with lefty-mashers and Kevin Newman accordingly.
