Inside Cycle
Jose Reyes almost hit an inside the park cycle Friday night:
Reyes had his 15th career game with at least four hits, a franchise record. When he crushed a shot off the center-field wall in the eighth that ricocheted back toward the infield, Sandy Alomar Sr. waved him home for an inside-the-park homer attempt, but Reyes (three runs scored) was out by plenty at the plate. It was the fourth career two-triple game for Reyes, who is the last Met to hit for the cycle - he did it on June 21, 2006, against the Reds.
"It's always nice when Jose makes a statement early," Willie Randolph said.
The Mets won the game 7-2, hanging the first loss of the season on Micah Owings, who walked in his two plate appearances. Maybe the opposition is afraid to pitch to him. :-) New York has now won 14 of their last 15 games at Chase Field.
