That marked the 25-year-old's 13th home run since being called up Aug. 1 following the Yasiel Puig trade. He had been mired in a four-game homerless drought and had just one dinger in his previous nine appearances.
Aquino's latest blast made history in more than one way, per Fox Sports Ohio:
- Most home runs by a player in first 100 career MLB plate appearances
- Fewest games (26) to reach 13 career home runs
- Most home runs by a Reds rookie in a single month
- Tied for the most home runs by a National League rookie in a single month (Los Angeles Dodgers' Cody Bellinger, June 2017)
According to MLB Stats, Aquino is the first Cincinnati player with 13-plus home runs in a month since Greg Vaughn accomplished the feat in 1999.
