Reyes Helps Buzzards Beat Scouts, 7-5
Jorge Reyes impressed in the 7-5 Death Valley win over Kansas City. Reyes, who is tied for 10th in the AL in runs scored with 77, was 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2. The Scouts, now 73-50, have lost 4 straight.

Death Valley used the bat of Xander Bogaerts to capture the win. The second baseman jacked a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Buzzards ahead, 6-2. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a dandy.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Reyes told the Death Valley Daily. "It's as simple as that."
