The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
Brandon Phillips whacked a solo dinger, had a two for three evening, and continued his recent hot streak for the Cincinnati Reds. Unfortunately, he also exited the game with soreness in this right triceps, which ain't ever a harbinger of milk and cookies.
