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.

All-Star Andrew Abbott carried a shutout into the eighth inning Wednesday night for the host Cincinnati Reds, who topped the Miami Marlins 7-2 following back-to-back losses to begin the four-game set.

They bounced back again Wedneday night, snapping a four-game losing streak in a 7-2 win over the Miami Marlins. More importantly, the Reds are back over .500 at 47-46. All-Star left-hander and Reds ace Andrew Abbott pitched a gem, and the Reds lineup picked themselves up after a dreadful previous four games.

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.

When the Cincinnati Reds scanned the pre-game stats sheet and saw that Miami starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara was an eight-game loser with an astronomical 7.01 earned run average, they salivated.

The Cincinnati Reds have opened their final homestand before the All-Star break with another rain delay. The start time for Monday night's opener of a four-game series against the Miami Marlins has been delayed by adverse weather in the area. The Reds say they expect to have an update on a possible start time at about 7 p.m.
