The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Billy Hamilton had 3 hits, scored two runs, stole his 45th base of the season, and in the process raised his season OBP back over .300 tonight.
Yay.
Honorable Mentions are due to: Ryan Ludwick, who mashed another Coors moonball; and Dylan Axelrod, who pitched quite effectively in the thin air, allowing just a pair of earned runs in his 6 innings pitched.
Key Plays
- Don't do this to yourself. Trust me.
- Reds lose, 10-5.
