Reds Defeated Mets 3-2 in 11 Innings with Walk Off Home Run in Perez’s Best Outing of Season Monday

The Cincinnati Reds took game this game over the New York Mets 3-2 in 11 innings with a walk off home run by Nix in the bottom of the 11th inning. Oliver Perez gave up 2 earned runs (1 HR), 6 hits, with 4 walks and 4 strikeouts in 6.0 innings in his best outing of the season. He left the game tied 2-2 and got the no decision. The Mets could not get the big hit the entire game and were only 2-for-10 with men in scoring position and left 7 on base. That’s simply not going to get it done and the Mets need to get back on track as they were during their recent home stand. Ike Davis struck out twice with runners on base in key situations and got visibly upset. Mejia, Nieve and Felicano were terrific allowing no earned runs for 4.0 innings. Unfortunately Acosta gave up the walk off homer in the 11th with 1 out. The Mets will look to bounce back tonight as they’re on a 3 game slide.
