Mark Reynolds’ leadoff home run in the ninth inning of Saturday’s matchup with the Marlins in Miami was his fifth in nine games since joining the Washington Nationals, and his, “...10th career go-ahead home run in the 9th inning or later,” as the Nats’ PR team noted after he hit a 3-1 sinker from Brad Ziegler out to left field in Marlins Park.
“That just means I’ve been playing a long time,” Reynolds joked with MASN’s Dan Kolko, who asked what the fact that he came up big in the late-game, high-pressure situations so often meant.
