Pops 11th homer of season Farmer went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer run in Thursday's win over the Braves.

Farmer has cooled considerably since his red-hot July and is just 5-for-27 (.185) over his last six games, but his two most recent assignments in the batting order suggest the Reds still have plenty of confidence in the 30-year-old Farmer.
