The inconsistency has marked Eugenio Suárez’s season, but even so his power is increasingly evident. So much so that the Venezuelan reached 19 home runs on Tuesday.
The Reds beat the Cubs 7-4 at home runs and, of course, that was where the now shortstop stood out.
Suarez dumped it in the sixth inning off reliever Dan Winkler, who entered just that inning to replace Adbert Alzolay.

Besides Eugenio, Jesse Winker and Joey Votto also went to the streets for Reds a couple of times.
Cuban Vladimir Gutiérrez claimed victory and Alzolay (4.73) charged with his eleventh setback of the year.
The Venezuelan Cubs allowed three home runs and four touchdowns in 5.0 innings.
