Suarez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk against the Pirates on Wednesday.
His first-inning bomb against Jameson Taillon turned out to be all the offense the Reds would need. Last season was a roller coaster, but this year has seen Suarez leap out to a monstrous start, as his .322/.408/.611 line is elite. Suarez has cut down his strikeouts noticeably and raised his walk rate considerably, and while some BABIP regression will surely lower his average, it still looks like he's turning into a legitimate cross-category contributor.
