The Mets' return from the All-Star break provided plenty of hoopla, but the three-game set against the Reds at Citi Field was not as celebratory.

Back-to-back wins by the Cincinnati Reds over the New York Mets out of the All-Star break pushed the Reds' to a high-water, mark of 5 games over .500.

The Cincinnati Reds lost in the finale but became just the fourth team to beat the New York Mets in a series at Citi Field this year.
