On Tuesday night, the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Miami Marlins 7-4 in a thrilling game that saw Tyler Fraley hit two home runs and a tiebreaking shot in the ninth inning. The win spoiled the debut of Marlins’ pitcher Elieser Pérez, who had a strong outing but was unable to secure the victory.
The game was close throughout, with the score tied at 4-4 heading into the ninth inning. That’s when Fraley stepped up to the plate and delivered a clutch two-run home run to give the Reds a 6-4 lead. He then followed it up with a solo shot in the bottom of the ninth to put the game out of reach.
Fraley’s performance was impressive, as he finished the night with three hits, two home runs, and four RBIs. He also scored two runs and stole a base for good measure. His heroics were enough to overcome a strong performance from Pérez, who allowed just two earned runs over six innings of work.
The Reds’ victory was their fourth in a row, and they now have a record of 8-2 on the season. The Marlins, meanwhile, have dropped four straight and are now 4-6. It was an exciting game that showcased some great performances from both teams, and it’s clear that the Reds are off to a hot start this season.
