The Mets silenced the Reds behind Jose Quintana, their bullpen and some timely hitting to run their win streak to nine with a 4-0 shutout win.
There will be no Jeff McNeil for at least the rest of the regular season, and there were no hits through the first 4 ²/₃ innings.The Mets silenced the Reds behind excellence from Jose Quintana — who picked up his 100th career win — and their bullpen, needing just one big inning to run their win streak to nine with a 4-0 shutout at Citi Field on a crisp Saturday that felt like fall. Jose Quintana pitched into the seventh and did not allow a run in the Mets’ 4-0 win over the Reds on Sept.
Quintana, who is gunning for a playoff start in a crowded rotation, was terrific for a third straight turn, holding the Reds to five hits and two walks in 6 ²/₃ scoreless innings. Quintana encountered trouble again in the fourth, when Tyler Stephenson reached third with one out, but the veteran bore down.A soft tapper from Ty France got Quintana a second out before TJ Friedl’s ground out helped him escape.
The Mets’ pitching has been brilliant through this nine-game stretch, letting up 15 earned runs in 83 innings , which has taken pressure off bats that have been strong enough.The Mets did not reach base against Reds starter Jakob Junis until there were two outs in the fourth and did not get a hit until there were two outs in the fifth.With Junis gone, the Mets wasted no time in attacking the opposing bullpen.
