Cardinals 5, Reds 2: Homer Bailey knocked around in first start of the season

The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game

Zack Cozart had quietly been the second best hitter on the Cincinnati Reds through the team's first 10 games of the 2015 season, and Saturday he kept that train right on a-rollin' against the St. Louis Cardinals.  Cozy smacked the first dinger of his season, and he added a pair of singles to his daily ledger to finish 3 for 4 as the clear bright spot on an otherwise offensively drab afternoon by the Reds' offense.  Maybe it's the presence of Eugenio Suarez in Louisville that has him on a roll, or maybe it's just that the 2014 season was a miserable aberration, but regardless, Cozy's swinging the hottest non-Votto bat on the squad and it's a damn nice revelation.
