"Maybe two," Reynolds said when asked how many balls he'd hit onto Waveland in an 11-year career. "But this was the first time in my life I've ever played here with the wind blowing out like it was today."
Neither Reynolds nor Blackmon needed the gusts behind them to homer. Reynolds crushed Eddie Butler's pitch and Blackmon did the same on a Brian Duensing delivery.
Both are tied for the team lead with 53 RBIs, with Reynolds having matched his total last year in 118 games (a season interrupted and later ended by separate left hand injuries).
