The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
On the heels of Sal Romano’s excellent start on Saturday, the Cincinnati Reds got another excellent start from a rookie on Sunday. Robert Stephenson was on the bump this time, and he similarly was able to completely shut down the Pittsburgh Pirates offense in his outing.
Bob fired 6 scoreless innings of 1-hit ball, and while he scattered a trio of walks on his day, he fanned 8 and routinely pitched his way out of any potential jam, needing 93 pitches to make it deep enough to log a quality start.
