Jose Trevino C | CIN
Reds' Jose Trevino: Clouts first homer
Trevino went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Brewers.
Trevino changed the complexion of the game in the fourth inning, when he took one of MLB's best pitchers, Jacob Misiorowski, deep for a two-out shot that barely cleared the fence. It was the first homer of the season for the backup catcher, who last homered in June of 2025. He entered the contest with a .192 batting average on the season but since coming off the injured list June 14, Trevino's gone 9-for-27 (.333) over eight games.
