Jose Reyes

The Miami Marlins' spending spree a year ago didn't work, so now they're trying another payroll purge -- shedding their biggest stars and their multimillion-dollar salaries in one blockbuster deal.

Jose Reyes extended his hitting streak to a career-high 25 games with an infield single that set up Miami's big inning, and the Marlins extended the New York Mets' home losing skid to a month with a 4-2 win Tuesday night.

Jose Reyes went hitless in his return to Citi Field and Lucas Duda lined a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning that caromed off reliever Edward Mujica, sending the New York Mets to a 2-1 victory over the Florida Marlins on Tuesday night.

Along with a new uniform, Jose Reyes is getting a new look.

On Sunday evening, the nightmare that had been plaguing the New York Mets and their fans for months became a reality. After nine seasons in blue, orange and black, star shortstop Jose Reyes officially packed his bags to play elsewhere.
