The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
What the hell, I’m going with Patrick Kivlehan.
Despite making the final out in this one, Kivlehan put in a good showing, hitting his ninth home run of the year and reaching base another time on a single. He was responsible for two of the Reds three total runs today.
Patrick’s line for 2017 isn’t what you would consider “good” in objective baseball terms. But, I’m sure it’s not the easiest thing to sit on the end of the bench throughout the entire summer while only getting a start a couple times a month.
