Cincinnati Reds infielder Christian Encarnacion-Strand had a huge day at the plate in Triple-A Louisville on Friday night.
The 25-year-old went 3-4 with two doubles and two RBIs.
Encarnacion-Strand has been on the injured list since the middle of April. He played in two games for the ACL Reds and has now played in five games with Triple-A Louisville on his rehab assignment.
