The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Joey Votto should realistically win this award every single game. Heck, every single day, even, since there’s a lot of days every year on which there is no Cincinnati Reds game at all.
Votto is the star of the Reds, and on Sunday he was the lone malevolent force the Reds could muster against Jake Arrieta and the Chicago Cubs. Votto had a pair of singles - bringing his career hit total to 1,499 - and drove in the only two runs the Reds could put on the board.
