Good morning, Mets fans!
The New York Mets began their road trip with a big 7-4 win against the Cincinnati Reds. Taijuan Walker held the fort on the mound while Eduardo Escobar and Francisco Lindor stepped up at the plate. With that, the Mets are the first time in the National League to win 50 games (though the Dodgers also reached 50 later Monday night).
