Overview

• George Springer hit two home runs and drove in three, and Bo Bichette added a three-run shot in Toronto’s win at Great American Ball Park.
• Scott Barlow started in place of Nick Lodolo and was tagged for four first-inning runs before Brent Suter allowed Bichette’s three-run homer in the second.
• Cincinnati rallied from an 8-1 deficit to pull within three, but former Red Jeff Hoffman recorded his 30th save for Toronto.
• The Mets won on Tuesday, pushing the Reds’ deficit for the final NL wild-card spot to five games.
• Before the game the Reds recalled left-hander Reiver Sanmartin, optioned Sam Moll to Triple-A Louisville, and designated Joe La Sorsa for assignment, with a three-game series against the Mets up next.
