Candelario's standout moment came in the game against the Marlins, where he achieved an astonishing .800 batting average, demonstrating not just his skill but also his ability to perform under pressure. This exceptional performance was complemented by his overall stats from the last three games, where he maintained a .500 batting average with an on-base percentage of 0.6 and a slugging percentage that contributed significantly to his team's efforts.

Meanwhile, outfielder TJ Friedl and first baseman Tyler "Ty" France have made their mark with batting averages of .500 and .400 respectively in one of their last three games, adding depth to the Reds' offensive lineup.


For Milwaukee, beyond Mitchell's standout contributions, players like Willy Adames and Joey Ortiz have shown they can be difference-makers.
