Reyes (10-8) allowed four runs on two hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 1.2 innings Friday, earning the win in the first game of a doubleheader versus the Cubs.
The right-hander allowed a two-run home run to Sergio Alcantara and put two more runners aboard before T.J. McFarland allowed a two-run double. Reyes was far from effective, but St. Louis' lead was large enough to avoid any disasters from his poor pitching. For the season, he has a 3.28 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 93:52 K:BB across 71.1 innings. He's added 29 saves and three holds, but a 2-for-6 run in save chances in late August and early September has seen Reyes often work in more of a multi-inning role lately.
