Reyes added two home runs, both to lead off games, three doubles and three RBI. He had six multi-hit games, including three four-hit performances, raising his average from .272 at the beginning of last week to .302.

Reyes shared the weekly honors last week with teammate David Wright and became the first Met to win the award in back-to-back weeks since pitcher Jesse Orosco did it in 1983.
