Loney’s 9th Inning Homer The Difference As Mets Beat Marlins 5-3

MIAMI -- Jose 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 on Friday night.

James Loney added a two-run homer in the ninth, turning on a 95-mph fastball from reliever Fernando Rodney and pulling it to the upper deck in right field. He drove in Yoenis Cespedes, who was hit by a pitch with two outs.

Reyes, who left the Mets to sign a six-year, $106 million contract with the Marlins on Dec. 7, 2011, lasted just that 2012 season.
