Duvall hits 30th homer, but Reds fall to Mets
Adam Duvall drives the ball just over the wall in right-center for his 30th home run of the season, tying the game at 2Reliever Michael Lorenzen was trying to hold a 3-2 lead during his second inning of work with one out in the seventh. That's when his 92-mph, 2-2 slider was blistered to straightaway center field by Cespedes for his 28th homer of the season. For good measure in the eighth, he easily threw out Brandon Phillips at second for the third out trying to stretch a liner off the left-field wall for a double. In the top of the ninth, Alejandro De Aza made it a two-run game with a leadoff homer off of reliever Blake Wood.
