There was a baseball game on the schedule but a football game broke out on the grass at Great American Ball Park on Monday night and it needed 11 innings before the Mets 5-runs in the top of the inning gave them a 15-10 lead and while Cincinnati got a run back in the bottom half it was all the Reds could muster in their 4th straight loss out of the All-Star break.
