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.

According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time. The winter meetings began with the strong possibility that the Pittsburgh Pirates would trade Andrew McCutchen. They ended Thursday with the star outfielder still on the team, with the expectation he will be there on Opening Day as well.Our intent coming in here was to have Andrew McCutchen be in our lineup going forward, Pirates general manager Neal Huntington told reporters. No one changed that. Its unlikely someone changes that going forward. Were not going to close the door, but were not going to be making calls.Huntington said he talked to multiple teams at the winter meetings about McCutchen, but none of them were willing to meet his steep asking price.We took calls. We listened. We engaged, Huntington told reporters. And not just on Andrew but on other players who are on one- or two-year contracts. As we will always do, if we find the right move and we believe the right move is to move the player, well move the player. If we believe the right move is to hold the player, then well hold the player.In this instance, obviously, we felt the right move was to hold the player and have him continue to help us win a lot of games at the major league level. ... We expected Andrew to be a Pirate. We feel great about Andrew being a Pirate. Hes done remarkable things for this organization. We look forward to him being in our lineup next yeaar and continuing on as a Pirate.ddddddddddddThe Washington Nationals were reportedly talking to the Pirates about McCutchen, but their trade for Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Eaton on Wednesday appeared to end their interest.On Wednesday and Thursday, McCutchen posted tweets of an emoji with its mouth zipped shut and the words keep working.McCutchen, who won the National League MVP award in 2013, is coming off his worst major league season, posting career lows in batting average (.256), on-base percentage (.336) and slugging percentage (.430). He also had 24 home runs and 79 RBIs.The 2013 NL MVP has a .292 batting average, 175 home runs and 637 RBIs in his eight years in the majors, all with the Pirates. McCutchen, a five-time All-Star, won a Gold Glove in 2012.Huntington said he hasnt talked to McCutchen but plans to do so before Saturday, when the outfielder is expected to appear at PirateFest in Pittsburgh.If McCutchen is with the Pirates on Opening Day, he might not be in center field. Manager Clint Hurdle told reporters on Wednesday that he talked to McCutchen at the end of last season about moving to a corner-outfield spot in 2017. The outfielder seemed to be receptive to the idea, Hurdle said. ' ' '
