Jose Reyes accomplished on Monday night what few men in their careers have been able to.

After falling behind 7-0 after just two innings, Reyes stepped into the dish in the top of the third and parked a home run over the left field fence to get the scoring started for the Mets.

It would be the first of four home runs of the game served up by Clayton Kershaw, a career high for the southpaw.

Gavin Cecchini and Jay Bruce would each chip in a long ball, but Reyes got the Mets the closest they would be all evening in the seventh, launching a two-run shot to make it a then 8-6 game.

The blow would chase Kershaw from the game and gave the Mets a sliver of hope for a comeback victory.

However, Reyes came crashing back to earth with his at-bat the following frame.

With the Mets down 10-6, Reyes dug in with the bases loaded, but was visibly swinging for the fences to tie the game and struck out on a high heater.

Regardless of the strong performance that saw Reyes go 2-for-4 on Monday, the veteran shortstop is still hitting under the Mendoza line.

However, in the past week, Reyes is hitting .292 and has launched three home runs as a turnaround might be on the horizon for the infielder.

Despite the mounting injuries, Reyes has been manning shortstop and Amed Rosario could be stuck at Triple-A for an even longer time, especially if Reyes catches fire.

Monday was Reyes’ eighth career multi-home run game, the first since July 10, 2016 against the Nationals.

It’s great to see Reyes performing the last week, but it shouldn’t affect the decision whether or not to call up Amed Rosario.

Reyes is at the latter portion of his career and has looked like a shell of himself all season.

I’m not saying the Mets necessarily need to even get rid of Reyes, but using him in a reserve role could be beneficial for the veteran.

With Asdrubal Cabrera set to come back on Friday, the Mets bench could be strong with the veteran presences of Reyes and Cabrera, with the young guys getting chances to show what they got in starting roles.

Ideally, it would be nice to see Wilmer Flores, T.J. Rivera, Cecchini and Rosario all getting a good amount of starts for the rest of the season, with Cabrera and Reyes spelling them every so often.

Unfortunately, Terry Collins has always been the type of manager to play his veterans, so if Reyes continues to perform, expect him to start the rest of the season as long as he’s healthy.
