The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Scott Feldman was good! Quite good, in fact. The resident healthy-and-can-pitch-still anchor of the Cincinnati Reds staff backed up the complete game shutout he fired against the San Francisco Giants just last weekend with another solid outing Friday, yielding just 2 ER in his 7 IP.
Considering he was up against former Cincinnati ace Johnny Cueto, the outing looks that much more impressive. So, thanks for that, Scott, and have a trophy.
Honorable Mentions are due to: Scott Schebler, who had a 3 hit night; Blake Wood, who tossed 2 perfect innings in relief; Scooter Gennett, who singled, tripled in a run,, and scored; Zack Cozart, who walked twice; Joey Votto, who went 2 for 7 or 8 or 23; Wandy Peralta, who is still awesome; Michael Lorenzen, who tossed a scoreless inning; Robert Stephenson, who mopped up impressively as all heck (for a time); and Austin Brice, who fired another scoreless inning from the ‘pen.
