Reds Shut Out Marlins, Win Streak Hits Four

0:00It's April 7th. Welcome to MLB News today, powered by AI and ready for first pitch. Cincinnati Reds just shut out the Miami Marlins 2-0 on Monday night, keeping their win streak alive at 4-game straight. Ellie Dillacruz smacked a double in a single, Tyler Stephenson crushed a homer, and four pitchers teamed up for that clean sheet on the scoreboard. Brandon Williamson bounced back big time after a rough opener, tossing 6-2-3-0s innings with just three hits, four strikeouts, and one walk. The 28-year-old lefty kept Miami hitless until the 4th, then locked it down from there. The Reds came in tied for the lowest runs in baseball at 26, but they exploded for 9 over the weekend sweep in Texas. Now they're heating up offensively at the right time. South Stewart brought home the first run with a single, in the 4th, scoring Dillacruz from 2nd. Stephenson padded it with a lead-off blast in the 8th off-janssen junk, who went 7-1-3-0 but gave up those two runs on 7 hits.

1:00Marlon starter junk took the loss, while relievers like Brock Burke and Emilio Pagan sealed it. Tuesday's got Andrew Abbott facing Sandy Alcantara, who was 2-1-0 with a perfect earned run average, should be a pitcher's dual worth watching.
