The Mets finally won their first series of the year by defeating the the Reds by a score of 3-1 in the rubber game of their three-game set.
The Mets haven’t been known for their fundies so far this season but they took advantage of some sloppy play in the first. Francisco Lindor got his big day started early with a double and scored when Francisco Alvarez hit a ground ball that was first deflected and then thrown away in the infield.
The team then got creative in the second after Starling Marte led off with a walk.
