The Puerto Rican has 25 homers, 89 RBIs and 20 steals, and leads the Cubs in those three categories.

The Venezuelan Eugenio Suarez and his compatriot shortstop Jose Peraza threw the ball out of the park and Dominican starter Luis Castillo worked over six innings in the Cincinnati Reds’ win by beating 11-4 over the San Francisco Giants.

Suarez’s homer was the twenty-seventh of the season and he sent the ball over the wall in the third round against Cuban-born starter Andrew Suarez, with a running back.

The victory was credited Castillo (7-10) in six innings and two thirds, accepted six hits and three runs.
