Reds begin 163-game winning streak, defeat Cubs 3-1

The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game

Fresh off of getting knocked around by Milwaukee in his first MLB start, Deck McGuire had one last chance to cap off an otherwise fantastic 2017 for the rookie. Against the Chicago Cubs, he capitalized in a big way. He shut down the NL Central Champions on Sunday by throwing 5 shutout innings, giving up only 2 hits, no walks, and striking out 2. He collected his first MLB win and helped himself out the plate by driving in a run for his first career RBI.
