Coming off his no-hitter against Cleveland on Friday night, Reds pitcher
Wade Miley has been named the National League Player of the Week presented by Chevrolet.
Miley made history with the no-no in his last outing, allowing just two baserunners while striking out eight Indians hitters in the 3-0 Reds win in Cleveland. His effort marked the 17th no-hitter in Reds franchise history and the first since Homer Bailey’s against San Francisco in July 2013.
The veteran lefty becomes the first Reds pitcher to win the award since Johnny Cueto in August 2014. Outfielder Nick Castellanos was the Reds’ most recent winner in August 2020.

CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Just three days after throwing the first no-hitter of his career, Wade Miley has been named the National League Player of the Week.
It’s the first player of the week award of his Major League career.
Miley, in his second season with the Reds, threw nine no-hit innings against Cleveland on Friday at Progressive Field. It was the Reds the first no-hitter since 2013 (Homer Bailey) and the first by a Reds left-hander since since 1988 (Tom Browning’s perfect game).

We don’t have much good news surrounding the Chicago Cubs these days, so let me present some to you.
Kris Bryant was named National League Player of the Week for the week ending Sunday.
During the week, Bryant hit 417/.500/1.042 with six runs scored, 10 hits, three doubles, four home runs, 10 RBI and four walks over six games played. He hit his sixth career grand slam April 26 in Atlanta, and Sunday in Cincinnati went 3-for-5 with two runs, a double, two homers and three RBI. The Sunday game was his second multi-homer contest of 2021, as he also did it April 17.
