The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Ol’ Nuxy would’ve likely just tipped his cap to the San Francisco Giants, bid the Bay adieu, and motored on over to catch his flight back east after this one. It was a drubbing, and while a few Reds had OK days, nary a one truly distinguished themselves.
After 18 bullpen innings between Friday’s game and today’s, nobody would blame him - heck, all parts of the Cincinnati squad looked like they needed Monday’s off-day today.
Honorable Mentions are due to: Joey Votto, who doubled and singled on his 2 for 4 day; Tucker Barnhart, who doubled, scored, and drove in a run; Jose Peraza, who singled, tripled and scored; Raisel Iglesias, who K’d a pair in a perfect inning of relief; and Scooter Gennett, who drove in two.
