Reds rookie Rece Hinds makes history with nine extra-base hits in first six games
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Rece Hinds delivered two more jaw-dropping homers and made history by setting another record in the process.
Following his homer in the third inning against the Miami Marlins on Saturday, Hinds became the first player since at least 1901 to have eight extra-base hits in his first six career games. Then in the sixth inning, Hinds homered again.
Hinds crushed a curveball and hit a home run off of the base of the second deck in the third inning. His fourth big league homer went 430 feet and was 106.1 mph off of the bat.
The Reds went on to take a 4-3 lead in the third inning with home runs from Elly De La Cruz and Jeimer Candelario.
Hinds was hit by a pitch in his second at-bat. He was not injured.
In the sixth inning, Hinds hit a slider into the second deck for a home run that traveled 454 feet.
