Yankees 5 Mets 2

Jose Reyes left the game with a “tight hamstring” and will have an MRI taken ASAP. Anything else that happened on this particular afternoon is secondary in importance to Mets fans.

This is the lineup the Mets are sending to the plate against Yankee pitcher Bartolo Colon:

Jose Reyes – SS
Justin Turner – 2B
Carlos Beltran – RF
Dan Murphy – 3B
Angel Pagan – CF
Jason Bay – LF
Lucas Duda – 1B
Josh Thole – C
Dillon Gee – P

For what it’s worth, Carlos Beltran has a .395 OBP and 1.080 OPS lifetime against Colon. Reyes is career 2-for-3 against him and Bay (0-for-3) is the only other Met to ever face Colon.

Dillon Gee is 4-0 with a 2.13 ERA (six earned/25.1 innings) in four day starts this season. I believe his eyes are brown.
