Eugenio Suarez epitomized a power surge unlike any the Cincinnati Reds have generated in some 17 years. Suarez homered twice in a game for the first time in his career, Alfredo Simon pitched seven strong innings for his first win in nearly a month, and the Reds beat the Colorado Rockies 11-4 on Thursday night. Nolan Arenado, Carlos Gonzalez and Trevor Story homered for the Rockies, who completed a 2-5 homestand. Suarez added a solo drive off Gonzalez Germen in the sixth for his fourth RBI, tying a career best. Simon (2-5) allowed four runs and five hits, withstanding back-to-back homers by Gonzalez and Arenado to earn his first win since beating Milwaukee on May 5.
