FLUSHING MEADOWS, NY. -- Jose Reyes wasted little time in extending his hitting streak to a career-high 26 games Wednesday night.

Reyes homered to key a three-run first inning and Giancarlo Stanton blasted a pair of two-run homers as Miami slaughtered the New York Mets 13-0.

Stanton homered in the first and fifth innings to raise his season home run total to 21. It was Stanton's second game back after coming off the disabled list.

Miami starter Nathan Eovaldi had an interesting stat line. He allowed four hits and no runs in five innings to get the win. He also walked six batters and struck out two.

The Mets lost their ninth straight home game.
