Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Ends power drought

Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Reds.

Reynolds opened the scoring with a 391-foot solo shot off Brady Singer in the first inning, marking his first home run since June 29. The 30-year-old outfielder had been stuck in a power drought, batting just .230 (26-for-113) with eight RBI and 10 runs scored over 29 games between homers. Reynolds has started to turn things around in August, however, and is now batting .346 (9-for-26) with two doubles and a homer through seven games this month.
