The Mets fell to the Reds by a score of 4-1 tonight. This clinches a series loss for the Mets.
Jonathan Niese gave up a 1st inning 3 run homer to Jay Bruce. After this homerun Niese settled down to go 7 innings giving up 4 runs. The Mets lone run came on an RBI double by David Wright.
The Mets had some great chances to capitalize against Homer Bailey but they were unable to come through more than once. Bailey finished 8 innings giving up that one run.
