The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
I’ve been very impressed with Wandy Peralta so far. He’s been more than a LOOGY in Price’s wacky new bullpen, and he’s struck out 12 of 25 batters he’s faced so far. Today he came in with two on and no out with the Cubs threatening to ruin another day in Cincinnati. He let up a productive grounder and two strikeouts to keep the Cubs at bay. Good for you Wandy. Here’s to many more.
Honorable mentions to Bronson Arroyo for going 6IP, 3H, 2ER, 0BB, 7K and getting his second win since 2014.
