Spencer Steer slugged a three-run homer as Cincinnati scored five runs in the eighth inning to rally past the Mets 9-6 on Saturday afternoon. Steer earlier stole home as part of a double steal in the sixth that cut New York’s lead to 5-4. He is off to a torrid start, going 13-for-29 with three home runs and 12 RBI.
Omar Narváez stroked a two-run single and Brandon Nimmo followed with a two-run double during a four-run fourth inning for New York, which led 5-2 after Tyrone Taylor’s run-scoring double in the fifth. The Mets are last in the NL with 22 runs scored and four-time All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor is mired in a 1-for-31 slump to start the season.
Left-hander Andrew Abbott takes the ball for the Reds on Sunday. He took a no-decision Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies, allowing two runs on three hits in 5.1 innings. New York counters with left-hander Sean Manaea, who was brilliant against the Detroit Tigers on Monday with six shutout innings, allowing one hit and fanning eight, in a no-decision.
