It was far from Brady Singer’s finest evening on Wednesday in Miami. The veteran righty was smashed for 10 hits and 6 runs (5 earned) in just 2.2 IP, his own arm contributing a pair of errors that further dented his cause on the night. The end result was a 7-4 loss for the Cincinnati Reds to the Marlins, and that now leaves the club searching for the series victory on Thursday.
The honors of steering that ship will fall to Rhett Lowder, who’ll get the starting nod in the series finale of this four-game
set with the opportunity to give the Reds yet another series victory to begin the 2026 season. Cincinnati’s rookie righty was simply brilliant in his most recent outing, firing 6.0 IP of scoreless, 3-hit ball against the Texas Rangers back on April 4th while leaning on his patented repertoire of hitting spots and mixing breaking balls to keep his opponents off-tilt.
Ke’Bryan Hayes is on the bench to begin this one, as Eugenio Suarez gets the start at 3B. Nate Lowe is in the lineup at DH with RHP Max Meyer on the bump for the fish, though Dane Myers will get a rare start against the RHP as TJ Friedl slides over to LF (and Spencer Steer starts in RF over Will Benson).
First pitch in the series finale is set for 12:10 PM ET. Here’s how the Reds will line up:
