The Mets continued their winning ways on Monday night, beating the Cincinnatti Reds 5-1, and wasted no time jumping out to a lead in the bottom of the first inning.
After Brandon Nimmo was hit by a pitch against Justin Dunn, a former Mets first round pick, Starling Marte unloaded on a two-run homer deep to left field giving the Mets an early 2-0 advantage. It was Marte’s 12th homer of the year, as he continues to be a spark at the top of the Mets’ lineup in the beginning of games.
On the mount this evening was Chris Bassitt, who has been pitching exceptionally well as of late.
