Over the next two weeks, Eugenio Suárez will be the primary focus throughout most of Reds Country. With the playoffs out of reach, Geno is giving Cincinnati Reds fans something to cheer for down the stretch. While Suárez is in a dead heat with Pete Alonso for the Major League lead in home runs, he’s also approaching George Foster‘s team record.
Suárez deposited home runs No. 46 and 47 into the seats at Chase Field last night, helping the Reds to a 3-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. That pair of homers brought Suárez to the same season total as one of his idols and fellow Venezuelan Andres Galarraga.
