Cincinnati Reds blast 5 homers in 8-4 win over Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels

So the early returns on having Aristides Aquino take over RF for the Cincinnati Reds have been...well, they’ve been completely fantastic!

Aquino’s legend continued to burgeon with his work against the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night, as he destroyed another dinger as part of a 3-hit, 2-run scored night. Considering where he was just 10 months ago - being DFA’d and outrighted off the 40-man roster - to where he is now - taking over for Yasiel Puig and having the Reds not only miss a beat is just an incredible journey, one that has seen his swing change return dividends almost immediately.
