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.

He is hitting .348 over those seven games with four doubles, a triple, and a home run.

It wouldn't be surprising to see him back with the Reds soon.

Watch highlights of his game on Friday below:
