Result: Loss
The Marlins' starting pitching staff is so decimated by injuries that 36-year-old washed-up Brad Penny has been resurrected to start this game. Penny hasn't made a big league start in nearly three seasons.
The Reds have beaten the Marlins in eight of the last 10 meetings. They are 6-3 in their last nine overall games.
Reds starter Alfredo Simon has allowed more than three earned runs just once in his last 12 starts. He's backed by a defense that has committed the fewest errors in the National League, a top set-up man in Jonathan Broxton and a dominant closer in Aroldis Chapman.
