Reds score early, lose again in close loss to White Sox

The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game

When the Cincinnati Reds finally managed to trade away Brandon Phillips, a clear path to everyday playing time was finally on the table for Jose Peraza. While Cactus League play is no real indicator for how the regular season will play out, it's hard to deny that Peraza has taken the early opportunity in stride, and his spring performances thusfar have been fantastic.

Peraza was at it again on Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox, singling twice from the leadoff spot, swiping a pair of bags, and scoring on the day.
