In this story:


The Reds traded for Gavin Lux in the offseason. On Wednesday, he appeared on MLB Network's Foul Territory and discussed what it's been like coming to a new organization, his thoughts of manager Terry Francona's new chair, Elly De La Cruz hitting a home run after throwing up on the field, and more.

On a hot day against the St. Louis Cardinals, De La Cruz drank too much water and threw up while playing the field. Later in the game, he hit a home run to extend the Reds' lead.

"The field was like 106," Lux said. "I was in the dugout getting warmed up. The game stopped on the overhead view of the camera in the cage, so I ran out and oh my gosh Elly just yacked a gallon's worth of water all over left field. He stayed in the game so he is a warrior for it...He is a gamer. Kid puked and rallied and then I think he hit a home run next at-bat."

Lux talked about how Cincinnati hitting coach Chris Valaika has helped him this season.

"Sometimes it's refreshing getting around new people, new voices, and just trying to hear what guys think."

The 27-year-old has been a great offseason addition. He's slashing .266/.355/.386 with 19 extra-base hits this season with the Reds.
