The Reds finally overcame their Mets demons, defeating New York for the first time in 15 tries on Tuesday.
Notes on the win from Reds Public Relations:
- The Reds defeated the Mets for the first time since Sept. 6, snapping a 14-game skid
- Cincinnati had seven hits in an inning, second most this season (they had eight Aug. 17 in Chicago)
- Billy Hamilton became the third Red this season to collect two hits in a frame, joining Eugenio Suarez and Phillip Ervin, who both did so Aug. 17 in Chicago
- Mets catcher Kevin Plawecki became the first position player to pitch against the Reds since Jaff Decker on July 30, 2015
- Joey Votto has walked in eight of his last nine plate appearances, and six consecutively
- Scott Schebler hit a grand slam in the first inning. It was the Reds' sixth of the year, still three short of their record set in 2002

- With Sal Romano's start, the Reds extended their season-high streak of starting six straight rookies
