Marlins Win Streak Now at 7
Florida left fielder Juan Encarnacion played a vital role in his team's 7-2 triumph over Cincinnati. He was 4 for 4 with a triple and 2 doubles for Florida. Scott Sanders was the winning pitcher. Over 5.1 innings, he allowed 2 runs on 5 hits, with 3 walks and 5 strikeouts. The Reds fall to 10-14 and continue their lackluster start in 1998.

An important at-bat for Florida came with two out in the bottom of the fourth. With a runner on 3rd, Encarnacion hit a run-scoring triple, which contributed to the Marlins win.

Encarnacion called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."
