Reds' Eugenio Suarez: Provides team's only run
Suarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the White Sox.
Suarez connected on a fastball low in the zone and sent it over the wall in left field in the fifth to provide the Reds with their only run of the night. The 29-year-old now has at least one hit in eight straight games and is slashing .438/.486/.938 with four homers, seven RBI, six runs scored and 3:9 BB:K during that span. However, don't let his recent success distract from the fact that he's likely on pace for one of the uglier slash lines in his eight-year career. Suarez is slashing .193/.280/.420 with 30 home runs, 77 RBI, 69 runs scored and 54:168 BB:K over 557 plate appearances. He has elite power, as he's shown over most of his career, but he offsets it with an undisciplined approach at the plate that has lead to him hitting .195 over the 199 games he's suited up for since the start of last season.
