Cincinnati offense erupts in Reds 20-5 win over Chicago Cubs
Albert Cesare / The Enquirer via Imagn Content Services, LLCNick Senzel led off for the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday, and in the process reached base six times. He scored thrice. He drove in a run. He is not the Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game today.
