Tough picking. Lots of contributors on offense! Pitching????
5th Star: Going with Rich Rodriguez for the clean setup job. Given our bullpen struggles, any scoreless outing gets my attention.
4th Star: Erik Gonzalez scored and knocked in a run with a solid 2-for-4, 2 doubles effort. OK, I admit it: I'm starting to like this guy.
3rd Star: Adam Frazier set the tone with a leadoff homer, then added a single in the big Bucco second inning.
2nd Star: Colin Moran remembered how to hit a Home Run! He also played a solid 1st base and drove in a run in the 2nd inning.
1st Star: Since when does giving up 3 runs in only 5 innings get a starter the #1 Star? Since we're playing in the Cincinnati bandbox, and starts even this good are hard to come by in this dismal season. Nice job Trevor Williams!
Tip the cap to Bell and Polanco who did what our sluggers are supposed to do: hit dingers and drive in runs. You both just missed the cut.
