Mets thwarted by Reds in series decider with Hunter Greene securing victory
Cincinnati Reds Claim Series Win Against New York Mets
In a thrilling rubber match of the weekend series, the Cincinnati Reds emerged victorious against the New York Mets. The decisive game saw a standout performance from pitcher Hunter Greene, who led the Reds to a 3-1 victory.
The game started on a high note for Greene, who struck out six of the first seven batters he faced. His dominance continued throughout the game, as he allowed only one run and one hit in seven innings, a testament to his impressive form. Greene's stellar outing also included 12 strikeouts, marking his first seven-inning outing since April.
The Mets' starter, Brandon Sproat, made an impressive debut, no-hitting the Reds through the first 5 1/3 innings. However, the Reds managed to break the deadlock in the fourth inning without a hit. Tony Santillan walked to start the inning, and Austin Hays capitalised on the opportunity, driving in the run on a sacrifice fly to center, tying the game at 1-1.
The Reds took the lead in the sixth inning, scoring twice to secure a 3-1 advantage. Tony Santillan ended the game with a double play started by Elly De La Cruz, adding a fitting conclusion to the Reds' comeback.
The Mets, who still hold the final National League wild-card spot, now find themselves four games back from the Reds. The Mets' offense struggled to match the Reds' resilience, with Brett Baty and Juan Soto's home runs being their only significant contributions.
With this win, the Cincinnati Reds claimed the season series against the New York Mets, 4-2. The Reds will look to build on this momentum as they continue their quest for a playoff spot.
