Reyes Scores 3 Times, Mets Beat Pirates 9-1

Last night the Mets busted out the whoppin sticks in defeating the lowly Pirates 9-1.



RA Dickey pitched a complete game in earning his 11th win against 6 losses.

Carlos Beltran (4) and Nick Evans (1) went yard. It's nice to see Evans contributing when given the opportunity to play.


Even Ruben Tejada got into
the act, going 3-4 and raising his average above the Mendoza Line to a whopping .206.

The Mets actually had 3 two out RBI; Pagan had two and Evans had one.


Jose Reyes scored three times and was 2-4. In scoring three runs, Reyes surpassed David Wright and Howard Johnson, to move to second on the All Time Mets List for runs scored. Reyes is now second in Mets history with 629 Runs Scored. Darryl Strawberry is the All Time Mets leader in Runs Scored with 662.




If healthy and with the Mets next year, Reyes should surpass Straw for the lead. David Wright is right behind Reyes with 628 Runs Scored. Considering how much time Reyes has missed in his career due to injury, and how healthy Wright has been throughout his career, it's truly amazing how much Reyes has scored. It shows what a catalyst he is.
