Final score: Reds 4, Mets 1—At least they weren’t no hit

The Mets came into today’s rubber match looking to get another win over the Reds, win the season series against them and create some momentum going into two road series against divisional rivals. That plan went awry when the Mets were unable to actually get hits and score runs, an integral part of any baseball game.

Marcus Stroman looked good through his first five innings, giving up only one run on a Max Schrock home run. But things took a turn in the sixth inning, when a couple of well placed hits and a series of walks from both Stroman and Miguel Castro created three more runs.
