In a pivotal matchup against the Miami Marlins, the Cincinnati Reds faced challenges that proved detrimental to their chances of success. Relief pitcher Alexis Diaz struggled significantly, allowing the Marlins to steal bases effortlessly, which directly impacted the game’s outcome.

Diaz’s inability to prevent stolen bases was highlighted during the broadcast, with four successful steals against his pitching. Marlins starter Max Meyer showcased his dominance as he struck out a career-best 14 batters, a feat not achieved against the Reds since Max Scherzer's performance in 2019.
