Mark Reynolds tied a major league record by striking out in nine straight at-bats before he was hit by a pitch in his third plate appearance Tuesday.
He's the sixth player to fan nine straight times. The last was Bo Jackson in 1988. Despite his recent struggles, Reynolds is batting .396 with 13 RBI in 16 games this month. He'll likely remain inconsistent because of his troubles making contact and his vulnerability to high fastballs. Aug. 22 - 1:24 am et
