After winning two games in a row, the Mets came into today’s game against the Reds hoping that another win could inch them closer to erasing the 0-5 start at the start of the season. For a while, it looked like they might be successful. Instead, the worst inning of the season (so far) propelled them to another embarrassing loss, as they fell to the Reds 9-6.
The Reds struck first in the bottom of the second inning thanks in part to some poor defense behind Luis Severino, who was making his second start as a New York Met.
