MIAMI -- When the Miami Marlins returned home from a trip at 4:30 a.m. Friday, the New York Mets were waiting for them.The Mets arrived earlier because they had Thursday off, while the Marlins are in a stretch of playing on 20 consecutive days. But the home team declined to blame the grueling travel schedule after a 5-3 loss to New York.Thats part of it, man, left fielder Christian Yelich said. No excuses. Stuff happens. Thats not why we lost tonight.Yelich hit a two-run homer to tie the game in the sixth inning, but Jose Reyes had his first three-hit game since joining the Mets early this month and scored twice, and teammate James Loney hit a two-run homer in the ninth.The Mets closed within a half-game of second-place Miami in the NL East.Adam Conley gave up two runs in six innings for the Marlins. They managed just two hits in the first five innings, but manager Don Mattingly declined to blame a lack of sleep for the sluggish start.I thought we were really good, Mattingly said. Adam battled and we got back into the game. You always want rest, but were not going to make excuses. We had a chance to win that game.The Mets Jeurys Familia gave up an RBI single to pinch-hitter Martin Prado in the ninth before retiring Adeiny Hechavarria with two on for his 50th consecutive save, including 34 this season to lead the majors.David Phelps (4-5) allowed the run that put the Mets ahead to stay in the seventh.Reyes drove in a run, stole a base and scored on two sacrifice flies by Yoenis Cespedes. The Mets new leadoff hitter had two hits from the right side and one from the left, and even reached on a strikeout thanks to a passed ball.Hes like a can of Red Bull balled up into a human being, teammate Logan Verrett said, and thats something we were lacking.Verrett took a shutout into the sixth but departed after giving up Yelichs 10th homer. Hansel Robles (5-3) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings.They were keeping us off balance, Yelich said. We had to battle tonight and came up short.Reyes led off the game with a double, stole third and scored on Cespedes flyout. Reyes two-out RBI single in the fourth put the Mets ahead 2-0, and he scored on another sacrifice fly by Cespedes in the seventh for a 3-2 lead.It was the kind of performance the Mets envisioned from the 33-year-old Reyes when they signed him, manager Terry Collins said.This guy produces runs, Collins said. He gets on base, he gets in scoring position. I realize that even though he is fast, he is probably a step slower than he was five years ago. But hes still a great baserunner, and he creates havoc on the bases.Reyes raised his average to .250 and made a fine play at third base to rob Hechavarria.I never stopped believing in what I can do on the field when someone gives me an opportunity, he said. Im going to continue to get better.The game was Reyes first at Marlins Park since he played for Miami in 2012, when he and the team endured a rocky season. He downplayed the significance of his return.It doesnt mean anything, he said. It was another game.SUZUKI UPDATEThe Marlins Ichiro Suzuki struck out on three pitches in the eighth inning as a pinch-hitter and remained four hits shy of 3,000.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins: 1B Justin Bour (sprained ankle) is expected to start doing work on the field this weekend and might be ready for a rehab assignment early next week.UP NEXTMarlins All-Star Jose Fernandez (11-4, 2.53) is scheduled to start Saturday against Jacob deGrom (6-4, 2.38), who pitched a one-hit shutout against the Phillies in his most recent outing.If youre a baseball fan and you love the game, Saturday nights game is a game youd want to come and see, Collins said.

Dele Alli Jersey . -- Teemu Selanne scored the first goal of his 22nd NHL season, and the Anaheim Ducks extended the best start in franchise history with their fifth straight victory, 3-2 over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. Serge Aurier Hotspur Jersey . In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. The Seattle Storm will celebrate the career of retired star Lauren Jackson in a jersey retirement ceremony on Friday when it hosts the reeling Washington Mystics at Key Arena.But the Storm cant allow themselves to get distracted by all the pomp and circumstance as they need to get back to winning after losing four of their five games.Maybe the presence of Jackson, who led Seattle to a pair of NBA titles in her 12 seasons with the team, will help elevate the Storms game. Seattle already features one of the leagues top young players in rookie forward Breanna Stewart but has struggled this season, winning just seven times in 20 games and forging a 4-6 record at home.Seattle has had five days off after a 93-92 home loss to the Indiana Fever on Sunday. Stewart scored 32 points but the rest of starters combined for the same amount in a game that was the Storms fourth in six days.We ran out oof gas, Seattle coach Jenny Boucek said.dddddddddddd We had four games in six nights in four cities and had a six-hour delay (July 9) where we didnt get in until 10 oclock or so. Its a tough time for us.The Mystics (9-12) have endured a disastrous road trip, losing the first four games of a season-long five-game trip.The latest was a 78-74 loss to Phoenix on Wednesday when Emma Meesseman (22 points) and Tayler Hill (17) combined to produce half of Washingtons output.Either Meesseman or Hill has been the Mystics leading scorer in 19 of their 21 games.In the previous meeting, the Mystics stopped a 10-game losing streak in Seattle with an 84-82 victory on May 26. Meesseman had 19 points and 13 rebounds in Washingtons first win in Seattle since July 13, 2005. ' ' '
