Reds beat A’s, lose to Cubs in split-squad action

The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of Split-Squad Games Are Really Dang Hard to Follow

Robert Stephenson and Amir Garrett are technically "pitchers," but that doesn’t mean the Cincinnati Reds duo doesn’t get to swing the bat. They’re "National League pitchers" - the good kind of pitchers - and on Saturday they donned their helmets and got to whackin’.

They combined for a 3 for 5 afternoon, with Garrett adding a double against the Oakland A’s, and while neither had a particularly memorable afternoon while on the mound, that was enough to stick out in my mind, at least.
