The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
It was a day where the offense eventually exploded. The Reds had 12 hits. All of the regulars had at least one. But here I am, giving the JNMHSotG trophy to a pitcher in his first appearance as a Red.
After Tim Adleman started the game and, despite pitching fairly well, couldn’t get the Reds pitching staff through five full innings. The wheels came off in the 5th inning, for both him and Drew Storen. After 5 IP, the two had combined for 5 IP, 10 H, 8 ER, and 5 BB.
