Jose Reyes gets last laugh after being embarrassed by Braves

If Jose Reyes needed a wake up call to help him snap out of his season-long slumber, it may have finally come on Wednesday night.

The New York Mets veteran was caught napping on the bases early in Wednesday’s 16-5 win against the Atlanta Braves, resulting in one of the most embarrassing moments we’ve seen so far in 2017. But rather than sulk, Reyes appeared to use that moment as motivation, ultimately finishing with his most productive game of the season.

Reyes was on second base with the Mets already leading former teammate Bartolo Colon 5-0 in the third inning.
