The Mets go for a 4 game sweep and their 5th win in a row today as they take on the Reds for the last time this season. Yesterday Montero made another good start allowing 1 run over 5 innings and the bullpen shut the door behind him. On the other side, Plawecki continued his impressive return to the majors hitting a 2-run, second deck shot.
