Bryan Reynolds had a very good week last week. He had a .391 average and 1.418 OPS with 8 runs, 11 RBI, and 4 home runs.
On Thursday, August 18, Reynolds hit two home runs in one game. His first homer was the 2,999th in the history of his home field, PNC Park. I'll let the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette take it from there:
Who better to hit No. 3,000 than Reynolds? In the fifth, he stepped up again, after another Newman single, and ripped an even more majestic shot to right. That got Reynolds’ home stadium to 3,000, got Reynolds to 20 on the season and gave him the third multi-homer game of his career. For a little bit of extra symbolism, the 3,000th home run came on what would have been legendary outfielder Roberto Clemente’s 88th birthday.
“I didn’t know about it [beforehand], but it’s pretty crazy to be a little part of that history,” Reynolds said.
The second homer, which came on a 3-0 count, also gave Reynolds four homers in his past four games, as he continues to prove that he is the straw that stirs the Pirates’ offensive drink when his swing is going well.
Reynolds also happens to look very handsome as he rounds the bases.
Congratulations, Bryan Reynolds! You are my MLBoyfriend of the week.
