Neil Walker salvages win as Mets top Reds 5-3

NEW YORK -- Daniel Murphy who?

Neil Walker delivered a tiebreaking, two-run home run in the seventh inning against JC Ramirez -- the ex-Pirate’s eighth homer of the month -- and the New York Mets beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-3 Monday at Citi Field.

The Mets (11-7) moved four games over .500 for the first time this season.

Walker’s long ball total is his most in a calendar month in his career.
