Indians designated hitter Mark Reynolds admitted he was a little pumped after clubbing a long home run off Athletics starter Jarrod Parker Monday, according to the Cleveland Plains Dealer. 

In the first inning, Parker hit Reynolds in the shoulder with a pitch shortly after giving up back-to-back home runs. Reynolds got his payback in the fifth inning, hitting a fastball 460 feet. Reynolds said he isn't usually the type to celebrate after a big hit, but circumstances changed his opinion. "I was on a mission right there, to hit a ball as far as I could, as kind of payback for hitting me almost in the head," he said.

Reynolds finished the game 1 for 2, with a walk and a hit by pitch. He's now hitting .300/.376/.650 in 100 at-bats.
