Real or not? Jose Reyes and Eric Hosmer are problems

The box score says Rafael Montero was tagged with the loss as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets, 6-2, in 10 innings on Tuesday. Montero was definitely awful, allowing four hits and four runs while retiring just one batter and giving up several rockets in the process.

The Mets, however, should have won the game before Montero even appeared. In the top of the eighth, with two outs and the Mets leading 2-1, Jose Reyes dropped a little pop fly along the third-base line, perhaps a little wary of bumping into catcher Travis d'Arnaud, who was standing a few feet away.
