Despite the drubbing from the visiting Rockies on Wednesday, McLain did his part with a pair of singles and his fifth stolen base of the season. McLain is slashing .218/.338/.327 with two homers, 13 runs, nine RBI, and five stolen bases across 30 games on the season.
Reds second baseman Matt McLain went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run home runs in a 9-8 win over the Tigers on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Homerless on the season entering Friday's game, McLain took Tigers starter Framber Valdez deep in the fifth inning before getting to reliever Will Vest for a game-tying long ball in the seventh. He also drew a walk in the contest, raising his walk rate to a healthy 14.3% on the season. After a slow start, McLain's bat is starting to come around as he owns a .213/.339/.330 slash line with four stolen bases across 26 games on the season.
Reds infielder Matt McLain went 2-for-6 with a double, a run, an RBI, and a stolen base in a 12-6 win over the Rays on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
McLain didn't get into the home run party the Reds had in Tampa on Tuesday, but was effective across the board, stealing his fourth base of the season in the process. The 26-year-old has yet to hit a homer this season and is hitting .198 with a .586 OPS through 24 games on the season.
Reds infielder Matt McLain didn't start on Saturday, but came off the bench to steal a base in a 7-3 win over the Angels.
Fantasy Impact
McLain came into the game in the top of the eighth innings for defense before drawing a walk and stealing second base in the bottom half of the frame. That's three stolen bases on the season for the 26-year-old, who is hitting just .218 without a homer and a .611 OPS through 65 trips to the plate.
Reds infielder Matt McLain stole his second base of the season during Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
McLain stole third base as part of a double steal with Elly De La Cruz in the ninth inning on Tuesday before coming around to score on a Sal Stewart sacrifice fly. McLain hasn't hit overly well to begin the season, but still sports a .360 on-base percentage thanks to a 14% BB%, something that should lead to some consistent stolen base opportunities.
