WASHINGTON — Day after day, year after year, decade after decade, the Mets experience arguably more run-ins with wackiness than any other professional sports outfit. This week at Nationals Park, the spinner turned to Jose Reyes.
The Mets’ veteran didn’t start either game here, yet by the end of the Mets’ 5-3 loss to their divisional rivals Wednesday afternoon, he had carved a remarkable niche in baseball history.
Never before, the Mets announced — courtesy of the Elias Sports Bureau — had a player given up two home runs in one game and then hit two home runs in the very next game.
