CINCINNATI (AP) — Edwin Díaz pitched out of trouble in the ninth inning to earn his first major league save since October 2022, and the New York Mets held off the Reds 3-2.
Jeff McNeil broke out of a slump with his first home run of the season and Jose Quintana provided a solid start as the Mets won their second straight one-run game after opening 0-5.
The Reds squandered a bases-loaded chance in the seventh when Brooks Raley threw a called third strike past Elly De La Cruz to end the threat.
