MIAMI -- Jose Reyes kept getting on base Friday night, and the New York Mets started looking like a different team.Reyes had his first three-hit game since joining the run-starved Mets early this month and scored twice to help them beat the Miami Marlins 5-3.Hes like a can of Red Bull balled up into a human being, teammate Logan Verrett said, and thats something we were lacking.Reyes drove in a run, stole a base and scored on two sacrifice flies by Yoenis Cespedes. The Mets new leadoff hitter had two hits from the right side and one from the left, and even reached on a strikeout thanks to a passed ball.Today I feel very good, Reyes said. I felt like I was seeing the ball better from both sides of the plate. Hopefully I can continue to be like that. When you have a good game like that, you have to be a little bit consistent and remind yourself what you were doing to be successful.Jeurys Familia gave up an RBI single by pinch-hitter Martin Prado in the ninth before retiring Adeiny Hechavarria with two on for his 50th consecutive save, including 34 this season to lead the majors.

He gets on base, he gets in scoring position. I realize that even though he is fast, he is probably a step slower than he was five years ago. But hes still a great baserunner, and he creates havoc on the bases.Reyes raised his average to .250 and made a fine play at third base to rob Hechavarria.I never stopped believing in what I can do on the field when someone gives me an opportunity, he said. Im going to continue to get better.The game was Reyes first at Marlins Park since he played for Miami in 2012, when he and the team endured a rocky season.
