Reyes pitched for the Cardinals and Indians from 2005 to 2009 and finished with a 5.12 ERA and 1.377 WHIP in 293.1 innings.

He is best known for his performance in the 2006 World Series when he led the Cardinals to a Game 1 victory over Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers by allowing just two earned runs and four hits in eight innings of work.
