Robert Stephenson shines as Reds top Rockies, 4-3

The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game

Robert Stephenson was a late addition to the Cincinnati Reds lineup on Tuesday, called up early in the afternoon to take the place of Alfredo Simon and his injured biceps. He'd broken the seal on his big league career during the team's first homestand - a win against the Philadelphia Phillies in the third game of the season - but on Tuesday he flashed a bit more of the potential that made him both a former 1st round draft pick and the perennial top overall prospect in the Reds system.
