The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
The Reds struggled to get much going on offense tonight. Atlanta pitchers Julio Teheran, Chris Withrow, Hunter Cervenka, and Alexi Ogando held Cincinnati to just three hits. Luckily for the Reds, one of those hits went a very long way.
Jay Bruce entered tonight's game on fire in the month of June. He took the field tonight hitting .313/.389/.813 over the past fourteen days. That line includes 5 HR, 15 RBI, and a 204 wRC+ in that time frame. Bruce kept the production going against Atlanta.
