Left handed starting pitcher Mike Minor dominated the Toledo Mud Hens in a rehab start on Tuesday night.
Minor came to the Reds in a preseason trade with Kansas City for Amir Garrett. A sore shoulder held him out of spring training games. A month into the season he is ready to return as part of the Reds' starting rotation.
Minor pitched three perfect innings. striking out the side in the last inning of work. He threw 31 pitches and 23 of them were strikes.
"He was so dominate that he had to go to the bullpen and throw some more after he left the game," David Bell said. "I talked to Nick Krall. He said there was no pain."
Aristedes Aquino homered for the second straight game to support Minor's start.
Minor is scheduled to start again in Louisville on Sunday.
Jake Fraley is close to going to a rehab assignment. His wounded knee is showing progress.
