Why This Game Matters
With the Mets aiming for a Wild Card berth and the Reds fighting to secure a playoff spot in the NL Central, this series could have significant implications. The Reds lead the division by 3.5 games as of June 14, 2026, but the Mets have won 5 of 7 against division rivals since May 15, per Baseball-Reference. A Mets victory in Cincinnati could shift momentum heading into the All-Star break.
Additionally, this game marks the first time the Mets will face the Reds without Edwin Díaz, who was placed on the 15-day injured list with a shoulder strain. The Mets’ rotation will rely on Jacob deGrom (starting pitcher) and Max Scherzer (scheduled to pitch on June 16).
What Comes Next
The Mets will conclude their three-game series against the Reds on Tuesday, June 17, with the final game also airing on SNY at 7:10 p.m. ET. Following this series, the team travels to San Francisco for a three-game set starting June 19. Meanwhile, the Reds will host the Milwaukee Brewers on June 16 before a road trip to Chicago.
