Phillies Overcome Reyes’ 3 Home Runs
- Share via
PHILADELPHIA — By the time Jose Reyes circled the bases for the third time, New York’s deficit was too big for the All-Star shortstop to enjoy his accomplishment.
David Dellucci hit a three-run homer, Shane Victorino also connected and the Philadelphia Phillies overcame three homers from Reyes on Tuesday to rout the Mets, 11-4.
Reyes became the seventh player to hit three homers in a game for the Mets, who have a 13-game lead over the Phillies in the National League East. He is the eighth player -- it has been done 16 times -- to homer from both sides of the plate for New York.
“We lost, so I can’t get too excited,” Reyes said. “If we would’ve won, it would’ve been more exciting.”
Randy Wolf (1-0) pitched seven innings for his first win since elbow ligament replacement surgery.
The left-hander, making his fourth start since coming off the disabled list, hadn’t won since June 5 last year against Arizona.
