NEW YORK (AP) — Edwin Díaz was overpowering for the New York Mets in the top of the ninth.
That meant little brother Alexis needed to throw a scoreless inning in the bottom half to keep the Cincinnati Reds in the game — and he delivered.
So no matter the final outcome at Citi Field, the night was a huge win for the whole family.
“A moment that we can cherish," said Alexis Díaz, with Reds teammate Nick Martinez translating from Spanish to English.
