Cincinnati Reds (30-33) at Florida Marlins (33-28), 1:10 p.m.

(Sports Network) - Recent Cincinnati ace Aaron Harang will again try to right his 2008 ship today when the Reds visit Dolphin Stadium for the third meeting of a four-game series with the Florida Marlins.

Mean time, for the Reds, future Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. is still on the brink of a milestone.

The Cincinnati native, who has 599 home runs for his career, has gone 6-for-13 with three doubles and seven walks since his last round-tripper on May 31 against Atlanta.

He was 2-for-3 with a run scored in the opener of the four-game series with the Marlins on Friday, then went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run scored in game two.

Harang, a 16-game winner in each of the last two seasons, has won just twice in 14 appearances this season and is winless in five games - four starts - since defeating the Marlins, 8-7, on May 12 in Cincinnati.

In that game, the 30-year-old right-hander allowed four runs on seven hits in seven innings.

He is 2-1 in six career starts against Florida with a 6.21 earned run average in 33 1/3 innings.

Right-hander Ryan Tucker makes his major-league debut for the Marlins on the mound. The 21-year-old hurler has made 12 starts at Double-A Carolina, going 4-2 with a 1.41 ERA.

Burke Badenhop was originally scheduled to make the start, but was instead called upon for 1 1/3 of scoreless relief in Saturday's game.

In that game, Cody Ross' two-out, two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning gave the Marlins a dramatic 8-7 victory over the Reds.

Luis Gonzalez and Jorge Cantu each homered for the Marlins, who had lost five of their last six games. Ross and Gonzalez each plated three runs in victory.

Badenhop (2-3) earned the win after getting out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth and pitching a scoreless ninth. Starter Scott Olsen went six innings, allowing four unearned runs on four hits with five strikeouts.

Francisco Cordero (2-1) took the loss after allowing three runs in the ninth inning.

Adam Dunn homered for the Reds and Andy Phillips recorded three RBI, as Cincy has alternated wins and losses in the past five games.

Reds starter Bronson Arroyo got a no-decision after striking out six and allowing four runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings of work.

The Reds have won all four of their matchups so far this year against the Marlins, but lost three of four in Florida last season.
