MiPOD Alex Blandino went 3-4 with 2 home runs (2). I am not sure if I am breaking some sort of rule allowing a rehab player win POD, but I think Blandino deserves the props. His 147 big league PAs have not exactly gone his way, but his 2017 sparked promise in the hearts of Reds fans. That sizzled out last year, but his rehab assignment has started very well and he could be the guy to platoon with Dietrich and let Peraza get his affairs in order in Louisville.
Honorable Mention Mike Siani went 4-5 with 2 steals (13), 3 runs scored, and he had 2 RBI. All hits were singles, but Mike really needed some BABIP luck (now still only .255) to get above the Mendoza line (now batting .209). Dayton is a tough assignment one year removed from high school, and maybe Siani is showing that he is showing some progress with multi-hit games in two of his last three.
Honorable Mention Vlad Gutierrez has been very bad this year, not striking many batters out in AAA and allowing a lot of home runs. He allowed 2 home runs again last night, but he did turn in a quality start striking out 5 and not walking anyone. His last two starts have been quality (and three out of his last four), so let's hope he continues to show progress.
