MIGHTY MACHADO

Machado's hibernating bat received a jolt of consciousness when he went four-for-four with three runs scored, two home runs and four RBIs. Despite the offensive outburst, Machado is still only batting .227 this season.

GONZALEZ MAKES IMPRESSIVE PLAY

Carlos Gonzalez has been struggling with his bat this year, but he can still make great plays in the outfield.

Gonzalez also collected two hits, including his sixth home run of the season.

GARRETT'S STRUGGLES CONTINUE

Reds starting pitcher Amir Garrett was lit up for six earned runs in just 3.2 innings while falling to the Rays. Garrett issued four walks, served up two home runs and fell to 3-6 with a 7.41 ERA this season.

NATIONALS AT MARLINS

Washington (43-28), winners of four of their last six games, will send reigning NL Cy Young winner Max Scherzer (8-4, 2.26 ERA) to the mound to face off against Dan Straily (5-4, 3.58 ERA) and the mercurial Marlins (31-38) lineup. Scherzer has struck out at least 10 batters in each of his last five starts.
