Scores brace Wednesday
Baribo scored two goals to go with two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-1 win against Columbus Crew.
Analysis: After sitting out the last two matches due to a knee injury, Baribo made his return to the pitch Wednesday. It didn't take long for him to get back on track as he scored goals in the 24th and 37th minutes, enough to secure the much-needed win for his club. It marked his second match this season with multiple goals and he now has 14 goals in 18 appearances this season.
Bench option versus Cincinnati
Baribo (knee) is among the substitutes for Saturday's visit to Cincinnati.
Analysis: Baribo was still questionable heading into this game after sitting out a couple of MLS contests, and he'll have his playing time managed in his return. His availability is welcome news for a D.C. United side that scored just once over two games without him on the pitch. Having produced six goals over his last eight appearances, the forward will have a strong chance of ousting Nathan Ordaz in the front line later in the season.
