With Jose Reyes enduring a slow start to the season, Terry Collins jokingly called for a national search to find the four-time All-Star.

"I've got the FBI out looking for the real Jose Reyes," Collins said. "He's being held someplace."

Reyes was 1-for-27 (.037) entering Tuesday's game. He went 1-for-6 against the Philadelphia Phillies.

"You have to let him work through it,'' the New York Mets manager said. "... We all know he's just too good a player to continue to struggle, and I think when he breaks out you're going to see a different lineup."
