The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game

When your contributions make up 60% of the team’s offense for the evening, you’re winning this award, so congratulations go to Scooter Gennett tonight. Gennett had 3 of the 5 Reds hits on the evening, including his 13th homer of the season, a solo shot in the 6th.

Honorable Mentions are due to: Luis Castillo, who looked impressive yet again in his start, striking out 8 Rockies and keeping his velocity up even at the 100-pitch mark.

Key Plays

  • The Reds took the lead early, as Peraza and Gennett each singled to start the game.
