ST. LOUIS -- Mark Reynolds was signed by the Cardinals in the offseason to provide a power threat from the bench. On Friday against the Pirates, Reynolds showed that he can be more disciplined than the stereotypical homer-or-bust mentality.
Reynolds' infield single in the seventh tied the game and allowed the Cardinals to complete the comeback with a 2-1 win in 10 innings.
With Jhonny Peralta on third and Jason Heyward on second with two outs, Reynolds grounded up the middle. Pirates shortstop Jordy Mercer was able to keep it in the infield to prevent Heyward from coming around, but Peralta was able to score to make it 1-1.
