Andrew Abbott pitched seven innings of shutout ball a day after being named an All-Star, Elly De La Cruz hit a pair of RBI doubles and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Marlins 7-2, snapping Miami’s franchise-record 11-game road winning streak.
At least they got another All-Star selection out of the evening, when MLB announced that left-hander Andrew Abbott joins teammate Elly De La Cruz on the National League squad next week as a replacement for Dodgers pitcher Yosh Yamamoto.
The Major League Baseball All-Star Game has been around since 1933 and on Thursday evening Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz matched a rare feat in team history.
Nick Lodolo and four relievers combined on a four-hit shutout Thursday for the host Cincinnati Reds, who salvaged a split of a four-game series with the Miami Marlins by earning a 6-0 win.
After spending 6 months of combined time on the IL for 6 injuries the last 3 years, Nick Lodolo (19 starts, 3.38 ERA) is healthy for Cincinnati Reds.
With a multi-hit effort against the Miami Marlins on Thursday, the toolsy shortstop now has 100 hits before the All-Star break.
