New York — Family reunion at Citi Field.
New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz and his brother, Cincinnati Reds rookie reliever Alexis Díaz, exchanged the lineup cards at home plate before Tuesday’s game between the teams.
With several family members watching and wearing split Mets/Reds shirts picturing both brothers for the second straight night, Edwin and Alexis shook hands with the umpiring crew before hugging one another.
With a 1.39 ERA, 26 saves and 91 strikeouts in 45 1/3 innings – not to mention a popular entrance song – older brother Edwin, 28, is enjoying a dominant season.
