Overview

  • The Mets snapped a three-game skid with a 3-2 victory in Sunday’s finale, preventing the Reds from completing a sweep at Citi Field.
  • David Peterson allowed just one unearned run over six innings, scattering four hits, issuing one walk and recording four strikeouts.
  • Juan Soto’s headfirst slide home in the eighth inning delivered the go-ahead run after Jeff McNeil’s leadoff double set the stage.
  • Mets miscues — notably Luis Torrens’ failed pickoff throw and Ronny Mauricio’s errant toss — led directly to four Cincinnati runs in Saturday’s opener.
  • Cincinnati improved to five games over .500 behind Jake Fraley’s three-hit outing and strong pitching depth as both clubs prepare for key midseason matchups.
