Reds’ Rece Hinds looks to stay hot vs. weary Marlins

The Cincinnati Reds look to continue to ride the record-setting hot bat of rookie Rece Hinds when they host the Miami Marlins on Saturday afternoon in the second contest of their three-game series. Hinds, 23, continued the blazing start to his career with a grand slam and two runs scored in Cincinnati’s 7-4 win in Friday’s series opener.

Hinds has started all five games in right field since his promotion from Triple-A Louisville on Monday. Not only has he hit safely in all five, but he also became the first player in MLB history with five extra-base hits in his first two games. On Friday, he belted his third homer in five games. He has seven extra-base hits in five games, matching four others as the most by a rookie in that stretch.

“It’s unheard of, really,” Reds manager David Bell said. “But Rece isn’t surprised. People throughout our organization aren’t really surprised. Obviously, he’s swinging the bat great and really in a groove. But he has the ability to do it. He has the talent to do it and to step right in at this level and do what he’s capable of says a lot about Rece and his preparation, what he’s gone through to get himself here.
