The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Zack Cozart had been struggling as of late. Dealing with knee issues and Achilles pain, his performance seemed to have declined in recent weeks. Today against the Cardinals, he posted his second straight strong offensive performance, helping the Reds to a 9-1 victory over the Cardinals. Cozart’s line on the evening was 2-4 with 2 doubles, 1 RBI, 1 walk, and 1 run scored. Have a trophy, Cozy, and here’s to you finishing the season on a positive note.
Honorable mentions go to: Billy Hamilton, for going 2 for 4 with a walk, another stolen base, and 3 runs scored; Joey Votto, for reaching base 4 times in a 1-2, 3 walk performance, Ramon Cabrera for coming up with a clutch 2-run single and putting the game away for good, Jose Peraza for continuing to hit the dang ball in a 2-4, 1 walk, 1 RBI, 1 stolen base performance, and Dan Straily for limiting the damage in an uncharacteristically wild outing, going 5.
