Davis added a go-ahead sacrifice fly and the New York Mets worked their magic again, beating the Washington Nationals.

Jeff Brigham (2-1) pitched a perfect 10th for the win.

Reds 10, Cubs 1

CINCINNATI

Reds rookie Aristides Aquino homered in his first three at-bats , keeping up his prodigious power display and leading Cincinnati over the Chicago Cubs. Aquino came up twice more with a chance to match the major league record for home runs in a game. He drew a four-pitch walk with nothing close to the plate, then struck out in his final at-bat. The 39,866 fans demanded a curtain call after Aquino hit solo shots off Kyle Hendricks (8-9) in the second and third innings , and then another off Dillon Maples in the fourth.
