The New York Mets start a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds tonight at Great American Ball Park.
The Mets are coming off an interleague series where they took two of three from the Texas Rangers. That series win allowed them to put another half-game between them and the Atlanta Braves in the National League East.
The Reds' woes continued as they just finished a losing series against the Braves.
