CIN (13-9) 1 8 0
W: Mat Latos (1-0)
L: Jeff Samardzija (1-4)
S: Aroldis Chapman (4)
Box Score
- Mat Latos: 7.0 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 4 SO, 103 pitches
- Superb. He's been this way in every start so far. He has five starts and every one qualifies as a quality start.
- Great to see Latos finally get a win. Statistically, he should have 3 or 4 at minimum. With the offense this club has, he really should have 4-5 wins, but sometimes that is just how it goes.
- Broxton: Big Brox came on in the 8th inning after Latos couldn't retire the first two batters. Brox was able to get out of the inning unharmed and keep the win intact for Mat. That is big stuff.
- Todd Frazier: Hit homer run number six on year which ended up being the only run of the ballgame.
- Frazier's home run was launched to center field, so high and so deep that the cameraman didn't zoom out in time to see where it hit. Turns out that the Toddfather hit that ball some 480 feet, which is the 7th longest in GABP history.
- Choo was the only player on either squad with two hits. His OBP continues to scorch at .532 while his batting average is reaching Tony Gwynn proportions at .392. (Yeah I know it's still April!)
