Jesse Winker's chicken noodle soup leads to another spark in the Reds lineup

When Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker missed four games last week with a “rough” case of the flu, he said he was a believer in the power of homemade chicken noodle soup.

The chicken noodle soup worked –– Winker returned to the lineup on Friday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and it only took him one swing for him to keep the team’s success rolling. Winker opened the game with a double and added an RBI single as the Reds beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-5 on Friday night.

“I believe sunlight and chicken noodle soup can solve a lot of problems, so I was lucky for that, thankful for that,” Winker said before the game.
