The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
On a night where the Cincinnati Reds were tasked with tackling St. Louis Cardinals ace Carlos Martinez, finally, finally getting a good start from a starting pitcher was of the utmost importance. Fortunately for the Reds, Asher Wojciechowski was up to the task of going toe to toe with one of the game’s best.
Asher fired 6 innings of 2 ER ball, the kind of start that has fallen completely by the wayside for Cincinnati starters over the last month-plus, and continues to flash the kind of talent that made the now 28 year old a 1st round draftee in the first place.
