New York ? Mets 3, Reds 2

Jose Reyes and Ruben Gotay opened with consecutive home runs, the first time that’s happened in the 46-season history of the Mets, and New York beat Cincinnati.

Reyes, fresh off his three-hit performance in the All-Star game, led off the bottom of the first with his fifth homer, and Gotay followed with his fourth, both against Bronson Arroyo (3-10). It was the third time this season that the Mets hit back-to-back homers but the first time ever the team opened that way.

It was a strong start in the first game since New York dismissed hitting coach Rick Down and added Rickey Henderson to the coaching staff.
