NEW YORK (AP) Yoenis Cespedes returned from a leg injury to line a tying, three-run homer as a pinch hitter in the seventh off Brandon Finnegan, slumping David Wright had a go-ahead single later in the inning and the New York Mets rallied past Cincinnati 4-3 Tuesday night for their 10th straight win against the Reds.
Cespedes had missed three straight games because of a bruised right thigh and had fluid drained Monday. He electrified the small Citi Field crowd on a cool night when he rocketed a 93 mph fastball, the first pitch he saw from Finnegan, off the green wall that was the fence when the ballpark opened in 2009.
Wright, who had been 1 for 17 with runners in scoring position, broke the tie later in the inning against Tony Cingrani (0-2).
Logan Verrett (3-0) won in relief for the second straight day. Jeurys Familia closed for his seventh save in seven chances.
