Has there ever been a better start to a Cincinnati Reds‘ career than what Derek Dietrich and José Iglesias put together on Opening Day? The two non-roster invitees who signed minor league contracts with the team during the offseason made the biggest impact during Thursday’s game at Great American Ball Park.
José Iglesias got the Reds rolling in the second inning. After a one-out single by José Peraza, Iglesias stepped into the batters box and mashed a 0-1 pitch over the head of the leaping Corey Dickerson in left field.
