NEW YORK -- Giancarlo Stanton lost his way for a while.
[b]Swell Italia[/b] . He never lost his prodigious power, though.Miamis muscular slugger homered twice to match a career high with five RBI and made a crucial play on defense, sending Wei-Yin Chen and the Marlins to a 5-2 victory that snapped the New York Mets five-game winning streak Tuesday night.Im coming back, said a smiling Stanton, who had three hits to raise his batting average to .226. Its a long road from here. Thats why you dont worry about where youre at on the season stats. Just keep plugging away.Chen (5-3) tossed seven innings of three-hit ball, spoiling Jose Reyes return to the Mets in his first major league game since a 59-day domestic violence suspension.Back with his original team, the speedy switch-hitter received a warm welcome from the Citi Field crowd of 29,477 but went 0 for 4 with a strikeout in his first big league appearance this season. Batting leadoff after getting called up from the minors, Reyes quickly doffed his helmet to cheering fans when he stepped to the plate in the first inning. Some were standing and applauding.They showed me a lot of love and I respect that and I just tipped my hat as appreciation, he said. I didnt know what to expect when I came here today and to see the crowd reaction like that, that was good.The four-time All-Star shortstop also played a new position, third base, but the ball was never hit his way.All-Star starter Yoenis Cespedes and pinch-hitter Alejandro De Aza homered for New York.Mets starter Steven Matz (7-4) sailed into the seventh with a 1-0 lead before first-time All-Star Marcell Ozuna hit a leadoff single. Stanton then lined a 1-2 changeup over the left-center fence to put Miami ahead.The Mets put two runners on in the bottom half, but Stanton prevented them from tying the game when he charged in to make a sliding catch of Juan Lagares two-out liner to right field.Christian Yelich was hit by a pitch with two outs in the eighth and Ozuna singled again before Stanton sent a 3-1 fastball from Erik Goeddel into the second deck in left-center for his 17th home run, making it 5-1.Hes the most powerful guy in the league, Mets manager Terry Collins said.It was the sluggers 17th career multihomer game and first since June 9, 2015, at Toronto. Four of those multihomer games have come against the Mets, his most vs. any opponent.You feel like hes going to be there, Miami manager Don Mattingly said. If he gets hot at all, its going to be a big boost for us.After slumping through much of a subpar first half, Stanton has started to break out with five homers, 16 RBI and a .324 batting average over his past 17 games.He hit .118 with two homers and five RBI in his previous 29 games from May 7 to June 15.Thats what Ive been working to get to for a long time now. Just happy that the work finally showed on the field, Stanton said. Ive just been in there doing it over and over again with no results.Cespedes homered in the fourth, his first at-bat after the Mets put his picture on the big video board to inform fans the slugger had been elected to the National League squad. Cespedes tossed his bat aside after connecting on a drive that clanked off the facing of the second deck in left field.I know that Stanton can hit further than me, Cespedes said through a translator.One night after the Marlins squandered a six-run lead in an 8-6 loss to the Mets, Chen struck out five and walked one before giving way to a pair of All-Star relievers. Fernando Rodney gave up De Azas first career pinch-hit homer, but A.J. Ramos worked a hitless ninth for his 25th save in 26 chances.New York had won seven straight at home.YES AND NOThough hes not on the All-Star team, a grinning Stanton said he would participate in the Home Run Derby next Monday in San Diego if asked. Unfortunately, I missed two Home Run Derbies that I was supposed to be in. Ive got some catching up to do, he said. Tell `em to ask. Cespedes, who won the contest in 2013 and 2014, said hed rather not take part this time.POWER PLAYStanton has six home runs in his last 11 contests at Citi Field. He has 24 career homers against the Mets, fourth-most among active players, and six of his last nine hits vs. New York have been home runs.FISH FRYMatz fell to 0-3 in his last seven starts after winning seven straight. He is 5-2 in 10 career outings at Citi Field, with both losses coming against the Marlins this year.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins: 1B Justin Bour went back to Miami for an MRI on his sprained right ankle.Mets: RHP Jim Henderson (right biceps tendinitis) was tagged for four runs and four hits in one inning of a rehab appearance with Double-A Binghamton against Hartford.UP NEXTMarlins LHP Justin Nicolino (2-4, 5.34 ERA) starts the series finale Wednesday afternoon against RHP Jacob deGrom (4-4, 2.62), who halted a 10-start winless streak last Friday against the Chicago Cubs.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Sonny Gray showed up at spring training eight months ago with big aspirations for himself and the Oakland Athletics this season.None of it worked out. He struggled and got injured more than once.Thats just the kind of year the As had, another similar story for the small-budget franchise hit by the injury bug time and again.Im not happy with the way the last two years have gone by any stretch, manager Bob Melvin said. I will think long and hard about it in the offseason.At 69-83, the As responded from losing 10 of 11 to win their final two games at Seattle and finish with one more victory than a year ago. But they finished in fifth place and at the bottom of the AL West for the second straight season -- another year of injuries and big-name departures.Oakland dealt left-hander Rich Hill and outfielder Josh Reddick to the NL West champion Dodgers at the deadline only to watch them shine elsewhere. It has been a common theme for years now.I was just as cranky as I ever was, you just didnt happen to see it, said Billy Beane, the executive vice president of baseball operations.Here are some thing to take from Oaklands season:INJURIES GALORE: The As put 11 players on the 60-day disabled list at some point, and 26 different players were hurt at some point, according to Beanes count.Its hard to assess this club because we never really saw it, Beane said.GRAYS HEALTH: Gray returned to pitch one inning last Wednesday night on the road against the Angels, his first start since Aug. 6 because of a forearm injury. He also had a stint on the disabled list with a strain behind his throwing shoulder.Getting their ace back on the mound, albeit for a short appearance, meant a lot to Gray and the As.The 26-year-old right-hander went 5-11 with a 5.69 ERA in 22 starts and 117 innings.SEMIENS STRIDES: So much was made of Marcus Semiens defensive struggles in 2015.He started 158 games at shortstop and played in 159, batting .238 with 27 home runs and 75 RBI. He cut his errors from a majors-high 35 last season to 21.Marcus deserves a ton of credit, general manager David Forst said. To go from where he was at the end of last season, where most people werent certain whether he could play the position, to turning himself into a reliable defensive shortstop is really a testament to his ability and his work.

Rookie Ryon Healy provided a spark at third base to help stabilize an injury-plagued infield missing Jed Lowrie and Eric Sogard, and Healy will be the leader to win the job at third.YOUNG PITCHERS: Sean Manaea is one example where Beane notes that the As discovered some things through all the injuries.The rookie left-hander went 7-9 with a 3.86 ERA in 24 starts and 25 outings overall.He did such a great job of going off of his first couple starts and then getting better, and never being satisfied with how it was the time before, catcher Stephen Vogt said. He had a great year, its exciting, the future is very bright for him. Hes going to be good for a very long time.A few other rookies the As hardly expected to see so much of so soon -- Daniel Mengden, Jharel Cotton and Raul Alcantara -- could compete for rotation spots in 2017.This season wasnt how we wanted it to be, Manaea said. The group of young guys that are coming up, I feel like in the next couple years were going to be really, really good. We had flashes of that throughout the season. I feel like the more experience we get as a group, the more time we have together, were really going to take off.OUTFIELD CONCERNS: Khris Davis provided a bright spot with his offensive punch. He shattered his previous best marks with career-highs of 42 home runs and 102 RBI.While Davis is set to play left field and the As are hoping for a healthy Mark Canha to play right, center field is an open spot and a huge hole to fill. How Oakland will do so is to be determined.Theres no question center field, short- and long-term, is a concern, Beane said. Its an area we dont necessarily have an answer long-term or short-term for and in those cases whether it be center field or other positions, until we discover a long-term option we may try and be strategic in terms of how we fill that temporarily.
