SAN DIEGO -- After having surgery on his left hand on Aug. 15, there was some doubt whether Mark Reynolds would play again this season.Not only did he come back on Aug. 31, but on Sunday, he hit a milestone, game-winning homer.Reynolds connected leading off the 10th inning and the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 to salvage a split of a four-game series.It was the 250th homer of his career and 13th of the season.Its special. I never thought Id have one homer in the big leagues, let alone 250, Reynolds said. Its a pretty cool accomplishment. Itll be pretty neat to tell my grandkids one day: `Grandpa did something cool in the major leagues. Ive got another record, too, but I dont want to tell them about that one.Reynolds holds the big league record for strikeouts in a season, 223 in 2009.His homer came on a 2-2 pitch from Kevin Quackenbush (7-6).I played an 18-inning game here one time one time a couple years ago and that was no fun, he said. This one had all the makings of it. I was able to get a pitch there and barely get it out of here.Reynolds homered on a slider.I think he spun his slider middle up in the zone, and it doesnt matter who does that, that ball gets hit, especially Mark Reynolds, Padres manager Andy Green said.Sunday was his seventh game back after the surgery.I worked hard to get back. It depends on how much pain I can tolerate when I play, managing that and just doing what I can, whether its late-inning defense or pinch-hitting here or there, or playing, Reynolds said.Charlie Blackmon also homered for the Rockies, his 25th, and hit an RBI single.Jake McGee (2-3) pitched the ninth for the win. Adam Ottavino pitched the 10th for his fourth save in eight chances.Blackmon gave the Rockies a 2-0 lead with his homer leading off the fourth and an RBI single with two outs in the fifth. His home run came after San Diegos Edwin Jackson retired the first nine batters.Nick Hundley hit a leadoff double in the fifth and scored on Blackmons single. Blackmon got caught in a rundown to end the inning.Rockies right-hander Chad Bettis was cruising with a one-hit shutout before the Padres tied it at 2 in the sixth. Travis Jankowski doubled to left-center and scored on Wil Myers triple that rolled to the fence in right-center. Yangervis Solarte brought in Myers with a sacrifice fly.Jackson allowed two runs and five hits in six innings, struck out four and walked one.I didnt necessarily feel like I had my best stuff, as far as strength-wise, Jackson said. I think I couldve went out there for another inning, but its a two-nothing game. We have guys on the bench trying to come out and produce runs. Its a pitchers duel.Bettis went seven, allowing two runs and four hits, with five strikeouts and one walk.UP NEXTRockies: LHP Tyler Anderson (5-5, 3.35) is scheduled to start the opener of a three-game series at Arizona that starts Monday night.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Deondre Francois was a little concerned after his first couple of drives Monday night.Things werent going exactly as Florida States redshirt freshman quarterback had hoped. Some critical passes floated high, some fell short, and the fourth-ranked Seminoles trailed No. 11 Mississippi by 22 points before the end of the first quarter.Then it all came together in the second quarter. Francois stood in the pocket and delivered a 16-yard touchdown pass to Travis Rudolph, the first of 33 consecutive points for the Seminoles in a 45-34 season-opening win over Ole Miss -- the largest comeback victory in school history.Things werent going right, but I couldnt panic because my team needed me behind the wheel, said Francois, just the fourth freshman to start the season as the Seminoles quarterback.So I just kept chopping. We were down 28-6, but I couldnt let them see me down, I had to portray the image that we were not about to lose this game.Francois made plays with both his arm and legs while playing in front of his home crowd in Orlando. He completed 33 of 52 passes for 419 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 59 yards.He led the Seminoles on four touchdown drives and positioned freshman kicker Ricky Aguayo to convert a school-record six field goals while FSU scored on nine consecutive possessions between the second and fourth quarters.Hes a kid who loves his team, FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said of Francois. His teammates believe in him, and hes a fighter, and hes a competitor, which Im very proud of.Francois outplayed his much more experienced counterpart, Ole Miss senior Chad Kelly, who threw for 313 yards and four touchdowns but also had three interceptions and a fumble.Francois didnt commit a turnover and played with poise that earned him his teammates confidence.He just wants to make everything perfect, he wants to perfect his craft, said FSU running back Dalvin Cook. The confidence he has coming into the huddle, you have no choice but to go out and execute for him because he is going to lay it on the line for you.THE TAKEAWAYOle Miss: The Rebels up-tempo offense is potent, but big mistakes by Kelly under pressure took away any momentum. Kelly had three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter but his turnovers (four) brought the offense to a standstiill.ddddddddddddFlorida State: Francois looks like the real deal. His arm is impressive and his willingness to stay in the pocket was bold for a first-time starter. Cook found little running room early, but he contributed big as a receiver with a career-high seven catches for 101 yards. He also rushed for 91 yards on 23 carries.KEY NUMBERSOle Miss: The Rebels gave 13 points off turnovers, fueled by Kellys four giveaways.Florida State: The Seminoles won the time of possession battle 42:39 to 17:21. ... FSU will have to clean up some sloppiness after committing 15 penalties for 127 yards. ... The Seminoles converted 9 of 18 third downs. ... Among the kickers that Aguayo passed with his team-record six field goals? His brother Roberto, a second-round pick by Tampa Bay this year.INJURY REPORTOle Miss cornerback Ken Webster suffered a knee injury on the Rebels fourth defensive play when he went up to defend a pass to receiver Kermit Whitfield. Webster came down awkwardly and had to be carted off the field. His injury hurt the secondary because it didnt have a defensive back to leave out on an island in coverage.POLL IMPLICATIONSOle Miss: The Rebels should drop some in the polls, but they may not fall far after losing in what was essentially Florida States backyard. For a while, Ole Miss looked destined for a jump into the top 10, but things unraveled in the second half.Florida State: The Seminoles nearly became the third team in the top five to tumble, but instead they rallied for a huge neutral-site win. With No. 3 Oklahoma losing, FSU should move up to at least No. 3 in the next AP Top 25 poll.LAST WORDJimbo (Fisher) and I were talking before the game, there was going to be a good football team that walked out of here tonight not feeling well, and its us, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said. We did not deserve to win the game the way we played the second half.UP NEXTOle Miss: The Rebels return home to host Wofford of the FCS on Saturday. Terriers (1-0) are coming off a 21-7 win over Tennessee Tech.Florida State: The Seminoles will host Charleston Southern of the FCS on Saturday.
