Mets offense finally comes through in extras to beat Reds 8-3

The Mets have been a slightly above .500 team since the start of June. They have been a downright bad offensive team for at least a couple weeks now. Good teams will go through rough stretches, and the Mets are still solid bets to make the postseason. But there’s no doubt that some amount of frustration has been building amongst the fanbase as the Braves have continued to chip away at the division lead. Losing a series to the lowly Reds would certainly have brought a lot of fans to a tipping point, and for a while it looked like they might do just that.
