Both teams hit 3 home runs, but a Sac Fly eventually decided the game in the 9th. Howard Johnson got the Mets ahead early with a solo homer in the 3rd off Paul Derringer. But Ted Kluszewski responded in the 3rd with a 3-run shot off David Cone to put Cincinnati up 3-1. Two innings later, the Mets had their big inning. Derringer allowed a 2-run home run to Darryl Strawberry, and a 3-run shot to Mike Piazza just 3 batters later. It was a 5-run 5th inning that helped give New York the win in the 1st game between these two teams. This time, a George Foster solo homer and RBI double by Barry Larkin made it 5-4 in the 6th before Frank Robinson tied it in the 8th with his own solo shot against reliever Armando Ben\u00edtez. In the 9th, Rob Dibble loaded the bases, leading to a Sacrifice Fly by John Olerud. John Franco pitched a perfect 9th to give the Mets their 2nd win over the Reds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/?sp_event=new-york-n-cincinnati-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">New York (N) @ Cincinnati &#8211; 10\/5\/23<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cincinnati Reds found history repeating itself, as they lost for the 2nd time in the Tournament to the New York Mets, this time 7-6, thanks in part to a 5-run 5th inning.
