Piazza is the lowest-drafted player to reach the Hall of Fame. He made it in on his fourth try.
Steven Matz pitched six scoreless innings and Jose Reyes drilled a go-ahead RBI triple to lead the New York Mets to a 3-0 win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday afternoon at Marlins Park.
Losing what was supposed to be a pitching duel was Jacob deGrom (6-5), who lasted just 3 2/3 innings -- the second shortest outing of his career. DeGrom allowed 10 hits, one walk and five runs.
Jose Reyes, playing his first game in Marlins Park since 2012, had a major role in three New York rallies as the Mets defeated the Miami Marlins 5-3 on Friday night.

Barring injury, Terry Collins will have plenty of juggling to do in the second half of the season.
