Marlins Set Franchise Record with 11th Consecutive Road Win
The Miami Marlins dominated the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night, securing a 12-2 victory that marked their 11th consecutive win on the road, a new franchise record.
This achievement stands as the longest road winning streak in Major League Baseball since the Philadelphia Phillies accomplished 13 straight wins away from home in 2023.
Eury Pérez, making his sixth start since returning from Tommy John surgery, showcased his skills by allowing only two hits, including a solo home run by Matt McLain in the first inning. Pérez struck out eight batters without issuing a walk, improving his record to 2-2.
Nick Martinez, who began the game strong by retiring the first six batters, faced a sudden onslaught in the third inning. The Marlins unleashed six consecutive hits against him, highlighted by a two-run double from Xavier Edwards that propelled Miami to a commanding 7-1 lead.
Martinez, making his first start at Great American Ball Park since nearly achieving a no-hitter against the Padres, struggled significantly, surrendering a career-high 10 earned runs on seven hits.
A pivotal moment in the third inning came when Agustín Ramírez's high-hopper eluded Reds' third baseman Noelvi Marte, allowing another run to score and sustaining the Marlins' offensive momentum.
Throughout this impressive road winning streak, the Marlins have outscored their opponents by a margin of 82-47, showcasing their offensive prowess.
Looking ahead, Reds left-hander Andrew Abbott (7-1, 2.15 ERA) is set to make his first start since earning a spot on the NL All-Star team, facing off against Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (4-8, 7.01) on Wednesday.
