A July 4th thumper.
The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Zack Cozart had suffered through a mini slump over the past two weeks, at one point having hit just .100 over a 10 game stretch. The Cincinnati Reds shortstop seemingly eschewed that trend while in Washington over the weekend, and on Monday showed he's seeing the ball well again.
Cozart smacked a 2-run homer against the Chicago Cubs in the midst of an otherwise putrid performance by the Reds, and also added an earlier single to boot.
