The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
For most of his career, Jay Bruce has been the target for a lot of criticism, sometimes warranted, sometimes unwarranted. He was abjectly terrible last year, presumably due to a knee injury that he came back too fast from. But, this year hasn't started particularly well (this is what you call an understatement), either. Bruce says he's never felt better, but the results haven't been there.
At least, not until lately. Bruce brought his batting average back above .200 tonight, which shouldn't be a thing, but in 2014-2015, it is.
