NEW YORK (AP) — Jesse Winker homered off closer Edwin Diaz with two outs in the ninth inning, and the Reds beat the New York Mets 5-4 after wasting a four-run lead.
Left-handed batters had been 0 for 15 this year against Diaz before Winker drove a fastball over the right-center field fence for his career-high eighth home run, the most by a Reds player this season.
Diaz was pitching for the third straight day for the first time this season.
Raisel Iglesias worked two innings for the win.
