Reds beat Brewers 5-4 to open season's second half

The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game

It's hard to underestimate the impact Anthony DeSclafani has had on the entire Cincinnati Reds pitching staff since his return. He's been simply superb, and on Friday he again was nails in another quality start that should've, and could've been even better than it otherwise was with just a bit more love from his defense.

Disco allowed 3 ER in his 6 IP, struck out 8 Milwaukee Brewers, and allowed nary a walk, and his 2.55 ERA is a sparkly outlier on a pitching staff that has been more than double that (even with the nastiness of Raisel Iglesias since his return - including his electric pair of scoreless innings tonight).
