(AP) -- A Reds fan who had never caught a foul ball at a game came up with back-to-back home runs on Monday night.


Caleb Lloyd, a 20-year-old junior at Thomas More College, was sitting in left field with a friend when Mike Leake's first career home run came right at him.

The Reds beat the Atlanta Braves 4-1.
