The New York Mets dominated the Cincinnati Reds 9–1 on June 17 at Great American Ball Park, delivering a complete offensive and pitching performance that exceeded the Vegas total of 9.5 runs. The Mets' pitching staff was suffocating, allowing just 5 hits while striking out 9 Reds batters and posting a pristine 0.00 ERA. New York's offense manufactured runs despite modest individual numbers, collecting 15 hits and driving in 9 runs to build an insurmountable lead. Cincinnati's lineup struggled badly, managing only 5 hits with a .228 batting average and striking out 9 times; the Reds' pitching staff surrendered 9 earned runs across 15 hits allowed, compiling a 4.65 ERA. A defensive error by Cincinnati added to their woes in an otherwise lopsided contest. The Mets' pitching depth and ability to suppress a struggling Reds offense suggests their rotation is hitting stride heading into the latter half of June.
