In an uncommonly shortened opening week, there have been records broken, sweeps completed and some serious holes created within potent lineups. But the most valuable player in my eyes only played in one of his teams first three games: Ramon Hernandez. He belted a walk-off, three-run home run with two outs in the ninth to rally the Cincinnati Reds to 7-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on opening day. Despite not playing in the next two games, you can bet it was his home run that supplied the momentum needed for the Reds to complete a three game sweep of the Brewers. To get a win like that has to be amazing, not only for the team and the fans, but for Hernandez who finished the day with 4 hits, a homer and 3 RBI. The NL Central champion Reds have started their season 3-0 and look to continue their dominance against the current bottom feeding Houston Astros.
