One night after Pat Valaika broke an 0-for-30 slump with a momentum-changing home run, Mark Reynolds shook out of his seemingly season-long slumber with a two-run sixth-inning single as the Colorado Rockies earned their second consecutive win against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Sure, there was plenty to talk about in Colorado’s 5-3 victory, but Reynolds coming through in a big moment was certainly one to remember. Batting just .161 heading into the night and 0-for-2 entering the sixth against Clayton Kershaw, Reynolds sliced an 0-1 pitch from the Los Angeles left-hander into right field to plate Raimel Tapia and Nolan Arenado and break a 3-3 tie.
