But, when Reynolds did get the call, he delivered a two-run pinch-hit single to cap a three-run rally after two outs in the ninth as the Astros edged the Braves 3-2. “I didn’t hit it that well, I just hit it in the right ■ spot,” Reynolds National said after lifting his season RBI total to nine, includ ing eight against Atlanta. Smith, 1-1, had checked Houston on four hits going into the ninth and was within one strike of hurling his second consecutive shutout when he threw four balls in succession on an 0-2 count to Kevin Bass. Glenn Davis had started the rally with a single to right and following the Bass walk, Jose Cruz had an RBI single to right that chased Smith. After pinch-runner Tony Walker stole second, reliever Bruce Sutter walked Alan Ashby to load the bases, and Reynolds followed with his grounder to center field. “I felt like after the bases were loaded, Bruce would try to get ahead of me,” Reynolds said. “If he gets ahead of me, I’m in trouble. If he gets ahead, he’s really, really tough.” Reynolds said he decided to go for the first pitch if it was in the strike zone. “It just happened to be up the middle,” Reynolds said. “It was down, a pretty good pitch. It was a split finger fastball.” “I got Reynolds to do what I wanted him to do,” Sutter said of the grounder. “I can’t guide ’em. I feel bad for Zane. He pitched a heckuva ball game.” The victory went to Julio Solano, 1-0, who worked a scoreless eighth inning in relief and Dave Smith pitched the final inning to gain his sixth save. Atlanta scored twice in the fourth when Dale Murphy opened with a walk and moved to second on Bob Horner’s single to left.
