Note: Reyes Was The Difference

by Mike Nichols on July 24th, 2008 at 9:02 am

Jose Reyes‘s three-run home run in the sixth inning was the difference in last night’s 6 to 3 win over the Phillies.

Reyes, on his three-run, game-breaking home run:

“He threw me a change-up. I’m not looking for any certain pitch in that situation. He threw me a strike and handed me a change-up and I was able to hit it out.”

Since May 1, Reyes is batting .313 with eight HR, 32 RBI and he has scored 58 runs.

…recently the current afternoon host on WFAN said most of reyes’s home runs and rbi have come in games that are lopsided, implying reyes is a stat compiler…

…the thing is, nine of his 11 homeruns and 30 of his 46 rbi this season have come in games where the Mets and their opponent were within two runs of each other…
