MIAMI — Elly De La Cruz again battered the Marlins while at bat and on the bases, going 4 for 5 with two doubles, as Cincinnati routed Miami 8-2. A night after hitting two homers and two doubles, De La Cruz singled in the first on Tuesday, doubled and scored in the third and hit a bases-loaded double in the fourth that scored two. He then scored after stealing his major league-leading 58th base of the season, snagging third without a throw while Marlins starter Max Meyer was in his stretch. Nick Lodolo got the win for Cincinnati, giving up two runs in six innings to improve to 9-4. Meyer fell to 2-2.
