Jon Heyman @JonHeyman For those who thought the Reds were nutty to trade for Trevor Bauer, well, they are far from out of it. They have The Punisher (3 HRs tonight). And if they should somehow get in, they have a formidable front 3 of Castillo, Bauer and Sonny Gray, who’s great again. Aug 10 Andy Lyons / Getty

Stats By STATS @StatsBySTATS Aristides Aquino of the @Reds has hit 3 HR tonight in his 10th career game. That ties the Phillies' Bobby Estalella (9/4/1997) for the fewest career games for a player to have a 3-HR game in MLB history. #BornToBaseball Aug 10 Kirk Irwin / Getty
