Matt McLain homered and drove in three runs on Wednesday night, powering the Reds to a 7-4 victory over the Royals in Kansas City. McLain crushed the second of three homers off of Daniel Lynch in the fifth inning — with his 428-foot (105.5 mph EV) three-run shot increasing the Reds’ lead to 6-1. He also singled and scored on an RBI double by Jonathan India in the fourth inning, finishing the night 2-for-4. The rookie shortstop has been outstanding since his promotion from Triple-A — slashing .328/.379/.516 with three homers, 13 RBI and two stolen bases in his first 28 games.
