Many Cincinnati Reds fans and players hoped that relief pitcher Michael Lorenzen, who hit .290 (9-for-31) with four homers, 10 RBIs and an OPS of 1.043 this past season, would capture a Silver Slugger, and fellow Reds relief pitcher David Hernandez expressed Thursday night that he took particular offense to Lorenzen not winning the award.

Colorado Rockies starter German Marquez was the National League Silver Slugger winner at pitcher. Marquez hit .300 (18-for-60) with one homer, five RBIs and an OPS of .650.
The Reds had Tweeted support for Lorenzen, second baseman Scooter Gennett and third baseman Eugenio Suarez earlier in the day.
