The Mets look to complete the sweep of the Reds tonight and win their 6th straight game as Matt Harvey takes the mound against Jon Moscot. Last night the Mets recorded their first come-from-behind win of the season. Going into the 7th inning they were down 3-0 when Cespedes came into to pinch hit with two runners on. He smacked the first pitch he saw just over the left field wall, sending the dugout into a frenzy. Then Granderson hit a triple and Wright singled home the winning run. It felt like August of 2015 all over again.
