Jonathan India became the eighth Cincinnati Reds player to win NL rookie of the year award and the franchise’s first since 1999.

The Cincinnati Reds haven’t had a batting champion since Pete Rose won his third batting title in 1973.

After the successful Field of Dreams game debut last week, the Reds will play the Cubs in Dyersville, Iowa, next August.

Reds outfielder Nick Castellanos and manager David Bell were ejected in the first inning Sunday after disagreeing with a called third strike.

Nick Castellanos on pitchers using foreign substances: “Sticky (stuff), no sticky (stuff), throw it over the dish and it’s going to get hit hard.”

In postgame interview, Reds fan says he told Nick Castellanos to imagine MLB commissioner’s face on the ball “and the next pitch, he lit it up over the fence, baby.”

The Reds’ Nick Castellanos had five hits and four RBI in Sunday’s slugfest, including a walk-off single to center in the 10th inning to beat the Cubs.

Joey Votto helped the Reds escape a jam in the 8th inning Saturday when he turned a triple play, which started when he caught a line drive.

Nick Castellanos was ejected in the fourth inning Saturday after scoring on a wild pitch and celebrating over pitcher Jake Woodford.

Andy Dalton, presented with the game ball and showered with water by his teammates, threw for 185 yards and 2 TDs in a 30-7 win vs. the Bengals.
