Reyes’ HR helps Mets tie Phils for first

New York Mets' Jose Reyes, right, is greeted at home plate by Brian Schneider, left, and Damion Easley (obscured by Schneider) after hitting a three-run home run during the sixth inning of the Major League Baseball game Wednesday, July 23, 2008, at Shea Stadium in New York.

Jose Reyes’ three-run homer snapped a sixth-inning tie and the New York Mets, with closer Billy Wagner back, rebounded from a demoralizing defeat by beating the Philadelphia Phillies 6-3 on Wednesday night. John Maine pitched seven effective innings and New York took advantage of a wild Brett Myers in his return from the minors to again tie the Phillies for first place in the NL East.
