AI Summary

Matt McLain is batting leadoff for the second consecutive game against the Phillies after going 1-for-4 with a stolen base on Monday. The 26-year-old second baseman is showing signs of improvement after a slow start to the season and is expected to get an extended run as Cincinnati's leadoff hitter.

McLain is leading off for the second straight contest after going 1-for-4 with a stolen base during Monday's series opener. The 26-year-old second baseman has shown some signs of life recently after an ice-cold stretch at the outset of the season. Cincinnati doesn't have a clearly superior alternative, which means McLain is probably going to get an extended run as the club's top-of-the-order option, which is a boost for his fantasy appeal.
