Lamb didn’t get much help from his offense, as the Reds managed just two runs against Conley.
“I know everybody is excited, but we’re four games over and four games over is not going to get it done”, Mattingly said. “It’s pretty good now”. “There have been good strides”.
In addition, relievers Fernando Rodney and A.J. Ramos will also represent the Marlins, and teammate Giancarlo Stanton will participate in the Home Run Derby.
Other starters who may be available include San Diego’s Andrew Cashner and Tyson Ross, Philadelphia Jeremy Hellickson, Minnesota’s Ervin Santana, Oakland’s Rich Hill and Tampa Bay’s Drew Smyly.
“We’re looking for the best alternative”, Mattingly said.
“I think you could have picked anybody in the stands and put them in right field a month ago”.
Koehler has followed a three-game winning streak by going 0-1 in his last three outings, with a leaky bullpen squandering a four-run lead en route to a no-decision versus the New York Mets on Monday. “There’s a building out there in left field down the line – I think he can clear that”.
“It was time for something fresh”, Price said. “We’ve got a ways to go”. “No one is going to remember the halftime record”. The Reds acquired DeSclafani from the Marlins on December 11, 2014 in exchange for pitcher Mat Latos, who has since departed Miami.
“There were some opportunities for us to cash in on a few things offensively”, Price said. The first steal came despite a pitchout, and the second came without a throw. Mike Dunn (1-1) pitched a ideal fifth to break the franchise record for career pitching appearances with his 369th.
John Lamb (1-6) took the loss despite a career-high nine strikeouts in five innings, and defensive lapses contributed to all three runs against him, with one unearned.
“I feel awesome”, Ozuna said. Cincinnati closes the first half of the season with rookie Cody Reed on the hill for his 5th start. Miami improved to 15-6 against left-handers. Newly named All-Star Jay Bruce doubled to right and scored on a two-out, opposite-field single by Brandon Phillips, who is playing with a fracture in his left hand.Miami regained the lead at 3-2 in the fifth.
This is the ninth time the Marlins have finished the first half of a season above.500, the first since 2009 (46-44, .511).
Miami also scored on a passed ball in Saturday’s win. But he is on a seven-game hitting streak during which he is hitting.370 (10-for-27).
Umpire Mike Estabrook twice called Marlins out on plays at first base, and both rulings were quickly overturned by replay reviews. The second reversal gave Miguel Rojas an infield single, and he later scored on Realmuto’s two-out single in the sixth.

Marlins: 1B Justin Bour (sprained ankle) is expected to return soon after the All-Star break. Cincinnati returns home on Friday to start a six-game homestand, including a weekend series against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Reds plan to start, in order, Anthony DeSclafani, John Lamb and Dan Straily. The first five batters got hits, and yet Cincinnati was held to two runs.
