MIAMI (The Sports Xchange) — Pitcher Logan Verrett knows exactly what leadoff hitter and recent acquisition Jose Reyes brings to the New York Mets.
“He’s like a can of Red Bull balled up into a human being,” said Verrett, who started for New York on Friday. “That’s something we were lacking. He brings that energy to the field every day, and he had a huge game for us today.”
Indeed, Reyes, playing his first game in Marlins Park since 2012, had a major role in three New York rallies as the Mets defeated the Miami Marlins 5-3.
