The Cincinnati Reds were defeated by the New York Mets by the score of 3-2 in the series opener at Great American Ball Park last night, a cold, blustery game that left Reds fans feeling blue. Poor defense (again) and a lack of timely hitting spoiled an otherwise awesome start from Hunter Greene, and it always leaves a poor taste in your mouth when your go-to starter puts up an elite performance at home...and the team still finds a way to lose.
Nick Martinez will toe the rubber this afternoon in the second game of the series, and he’ll do so opposite New York starter Luis Severino.
