The Cincinnati Reds broke out their big bats against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday, in the process allowing the few fans in the stadium to bust out their brooms.
Respective 2-run blasts by Jonathan India, Tyler Stephenson, and Mike Moustakas fueled a 7-run Bottom of the 3rd against Tampa starter Shane Baz, the big inning in what evolved into a forceful 10-5 victory - and a series sweep. The homer for Moose, today’s Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game because I don’t remember ever having given him one, was the 200th of his career.
