Jesse Winker, man. Our guy came into today’s game hitting .341/.403/.617, one of the best lines in baseball, and he only made those numbers look better. He went 3 for 4 with 3 ding dongs and 6 RBI, and pretty much single-handedly kept the Reds in this game. Have a trophy, man.
Honorable mentions are due to: Wade Miley, who pitched 5 shutout innings, allowing only 4 hits and 2 walks while striking out 8; Lucas Sims, who worked around trouble and earned the save with 3 straight outs; Shogo Akiyama, for coming on in
Key Plays
- The Reds wasted no time getting out in front today.
