Cubs 6, Reds 3 - Chicago homers their way past threadbare Cincinnati

The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game

On a day where not much went right for the Cincinnati Reds either on the field or in the trainer's room, somewhat of a youth-movement was at least on display as they took on the Chicago Cubs in Wrigley Field on Thursday. Spearheading that was Michael Lorenzen, and while he was tagged for 5 ER in his 4.1 IP, he touched 97 mph with his fastball, struck out 6 Cubs, and smacked a 2-run triple with the bat in his certainly capable hands.
