Eugenio Suarez bashed a 2-run homer, added a single, sac-fly, and a walk, and had one of his better offensive performances of the year for the Cincinnati Reds on Monday against the Minnesota Twins. That was good. Quite good. The kind of good that makes you hold out hope that he’s going to eventually go on a complete tear at some point this year the way the good ol’ Geno used to do.
It wasn’t enough and the Reds lost, though. Life is pain, folks. Life is pain.
Honorable Mentions are due to: Jonathan India, who singled thrice (although was TOOTBLAN’d on one) and added a walk from the leadoff spot; Tyler Stephenson, who walked twice, singled, and scored; Aristides Aquino, who socked a solo homer; and Amir Garrett, who came out of the ‘pen to put out a huge fire in the Bottom of the 8th.
