The International League is the name of the Bats’ AAA league.
We’ve been chronicling Aquino’s historic home run streak here, with video of each home run and looking at it in-depth (pitcher, pitch sequence, the pitch, the hit) in our Timeline of Punishment. If you need to catch up, we’ve covered these so far:
- #1 – First Major League Homer
- #2 – Obliteration
- #3 – Hardest-hit Homer
- #4 – Off Yu Darvish
- #5 – Start of a Huge Day
Five down, seven (and counting) to go!

AA and Sonny Gray in 2019 were not foreseeable a year ago. Castillo maybe. All 3 are great stories for the 2019 Reds and reasons for optimism.
