Machado’s homer was his 34th this season, while Davis got his 35th and Jones got his 26th. “Nothing fazes him. Gave us what he always does, quality innings”.

Jose Reyes, Curtis Granderson and Wilmer Flores hit home runs to help the New York Mets complete a three-game sweep with a 6-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park. So when Rafael Montero clocked a shaky start Tuesday, giving up a 2-0 lead by surrendering a two-run homer to Adam Duvall in the third and allowing the home team to put men on first and third with one out, and when Duvall knocked a sacrifice fly off Josh Edgin to give the Reds to a 3-2 advantage, it just felt right that the game would turn to Cespedes.
In his last start, Syndergaard took the loss in a 4-1 defeat against the Washington Nationals, despite allowing just two runs over seven innings.
Reynolds, recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas before the game, hit his third homer of the season with one out in the third inning.
A’s 4, Angels 1 • Jharel Cotton made a memorable major league debut and showed last-place Oakland a glimpse of a promising future against visiting Los Angeles.
Jonathan Villar homered to start a five-run first inning against Jason Hammel, and the Milwaukee Brewers cooled off the Chicago Cubs with a 12-5 victory on Tuesday night. It’s Cincinnati’s longest-ever against the Mets and the Reds’ longest against any team since dropping 16 straight to the Arizona Diamondbacks from May 8, 2001 to August 13, 2003.
“I was trying to get ahead and Reyes was trying to hit one out and he did”, DeSclafani said.
Once again, it was Jeurys Familia who closed the door on the save – his 47th, which extends his franchise record.
“I knew coming in some of the veterans were going to have the day off likely”, Colon said through a translator.
“I hit the ball really good, but I didn’t know if it was going to go out, so I ran”, Peraza, who also had a bunt single, said through the Reds’ interpreter.
Reyes sent a shot into the right-field seats for his sixth homer. “He has been swinging the bat well lately”. “I told him yesterday, “With all you’ve been through, why don’t you catch your breath and get ready for Friday?” They all have this whole series. “Cabrera hits that one up the middle and Cozart turns it into a bang-bang play at first base”. Brandon Finnegan tries for his fourth straight quality start and seventh in his last eight games when he toes the rubber for the Reds. He now has six homers on the season, while Granderson has 24. Reds 2B Hernan Iribarren is the first player with pinch-hit triples in consecutive games since Miami’s Scott Cousins in September 20103.
Montero worked around six walks in five scoreless innings in his first start of the year August 29 against Miami.
