It took an extra day to earn the Ohio Cup split for the Cincinnati Reds, but they wouldn’t let rain derail their plans to climb out of the early-season hole for which they dug themselves.

Tyler Naquin homered and doubled to take home The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game, as he continues to simply rake against the Cleveland club that once made him a 1st round pick.
