LOUISVILLE – Nick Senzel quickly knocked the rust off Tuesday night, though the reality of a long layoff eventually caught up to him at the plate.

The Cincinnati Reds' top prospect smacked the second pitch he saw in his season debut at Triple-A Louisville into left field for a base hit. He struck out three times and grounded out in his following four at-bats in the Bats' 9-2 loss to the Durham Bulls.

"Good to see some pitches, and it's good to be back there," Senzel said.
