NEW YORK (AP) — Edwin Díaz was overpowering for the New York Mets in the top of the ninth. That meant little brother Alexis needed to throw a scoreless inning in the bottom half to keep the Cincinnati Reds in the game — and he delivered. So no matter the final outcome at Citi Field, the night was a huge win for the whole family. “A moment that we can cherish,” said Alexis Díaz, with Reds teammate Nick Martinez translating from Spanish to English. For the first time in their careers as All-Star closers, the Díaz brothers pitched in the same game Friday as the Mets beat the Reds 6-4 on Mark Vientos' two-run homer off Justin Wilson in the 10th inning. “We both did good,” Edwin Díaz said, grinning.

Mark Vientos hit a pair of two-run homers, including a leadoff shot in the 10th inning that sent the New York Mets past the Cincinnati Reds 6-4 on Friday night for their eighth consecutive victory. New York hasn't trailed in 63 innings and is riding its longest winning streak since an eight-game run in August 2019. Vientos also connected in the first for the Mets, who remained tied with rival Atlanta for the last National League wild card. “I think September's the right time to get hot,” Vientos said.

The Mets made a series of tactical decisions in May that have transformed them from May-bes back then to one of the majors' best teams since. It is yet another reminder that a roster and how it is deployed is a living organism, shifting shapes regularly. So much emphasis is put on who makes an Opening Day roster, when that is merely the first of many pictures — and not often an accurate one of what the team will actually be. Every club in the majors has used at least 43 players this season, 21 had used 50 or more, including the Marlins at a league-high 67. The Mets had used 57 — their fourth-most ever. “If you go through this enough, you see the evolution of rosters over the course of a whole

The Mets were 44-45 on July 9 after splitting an eight-game trip to Washington and Pittsburgh. “Playing shortstop for the New York Mets is not an easy job,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. Lindor was 6 of 12 with three extra-base hits, four runs, and four RBIs in a three-game sweep of the Red Sox this past week. President of baseball operations David Stearns took questions from reporters before one of the games and was asked how he would define a Most Valuable Player.

If the Mets are going to play in October, Jose Quintana wants to position himself to start games in October. There are obstacles, the most significant being the Braves, Diamondbacks and Padres, who are fighting with the Mets for three National League wild-card spots. Internally, there is plenty of competition with Sean Manaea, Luis Severino and David Peterson performing like the front end of a rotation, Paul Blackburn returning and Kodai Senga looming as an option even if he will not be fully built up. Jose Quintana will start for the Mets on Saturday against the Reds. Getty Images But Quintana — a 35-year-old in his 13th big-league season — is planning on finishing the season strong, which would
