Mets 3 Reds 1
Quick Cap: The Mets pushed across a run in each of the first three innings vs Andrew Abbott, and that was enough to beat the Reds and hand them their first series loss of the season. The Reds managed just three hits, all singles, none after 4th. A heartbreaking scene in the 6th as Tejay Antone left in pain following his first pitch of the 6th inning.
Andrew Abbott: 5 IN, 7 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, HBP, HR, 95 pitches/58 strikes. Allowed a single run in 1st-2nd-3rd. Constant traffic. Mets 10 base runners in first three innings, only 2 runs; 6 H, E, HBP, 2 BB. Lindor entered 1 for 31, 0 EXBH. Had 2B, HR vs Abbott.
Notes:
Offense: 3 H, 12 K

3B Jeimer Candelario double-clutched on infield hit.
