The Reds scored 7 times in the 10th inning to beat the Marlins 10-4

Miami – TJ Friedl homered and drove in three runs, Elly De La Cruz had three hits and stole his major league-leading 59th base, and Jeimer Candelario had a two-run single during a seven-run 10th inning as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Miami Marlins 10-4 on Thursday night.

Tyler Stephenson walked with the bases loaded to break a 3-3 tie in the 10th inning, then Friedl was hit by a pitch from Marlins reliever Emmanuel Ramirez (0-1), who faced six batters without recording an out. Spencer Steer’s single made it 6-3 before Candelario’s hit ended Ramirez’s outing.

Steer scored on a fielding error by Marlins center fielder Derek Hill, and Candelario came home on Stuart Fairchild’s sacrifice fly.

Buck Farmer (1-0) pitched 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief as the Reds took three of four in the series.

Head umpire Bill Miller ejected Reds manager David Bell for arguing over balls and strikes in the seventh inning. It was Bell’s 31st career ejection, surpassing Sparky Anderson for the most ejections in club history.

The Marlins ended a 24-inning scoreless streak by Reds starter Hunter Greene with a three-run fourth inning to tie the game at 3. Hill got Miami on the board with an RBI on a fielder’s choice before Vidal Bruján and Jhonny Pereda followed with RBI singles.

Greene’s streak was the longest by a Cincinnati starter since Tom Browning went 25 innings without allowing a run from June 6-25, 1989.

Greene completed six innings of three-run ball. He allowed six hits, walked two, struck out five and hit two batters.

The Reds scored twice off Marlins starter Kyle Tyler in the first. De La Cruz singled and then advanced two bases on a wild pitch and a throwing error by catcher Pereda. Stephenson’s groundout scored De La Cruz before Friedl hit a solo homer.

Friedl also had an RBI single in the third.

Tyler allowed three runs and five hits in 4 1/3 innings. He walked two and struck out three.
