Thanks to a three-run, four-hit barrage in the seventh, the Mets, who also posted a three-run third, stayed within 1 1/2 games of the Dodgers for home-field advantage in the NL Division Series. Coming into the night with a 2-6 record in their previous eight games, they overcame a David Wright miscue at third base, which stuck Steven Matz with a no-decision, when Daniel Murphy sent the go-ahead run home with a two-out RBI triple off Manny Parra in the seventh.
Reds starter Josh Smith also received a no-decision, allowing three runs in five innings.
