Mets roll to ninth straight win as Jose Quintana picks up 100th career victory

There will be no Jeff McNeil for at least the rest of the regular season, and there were no hits through the first 4 ²/₃ innings.

No problem for the Mets, who are doing everything right at the right time and have ascended into playoff position.

The Mets silenced the Reds behind excellence from Jose Quintana and their bullpen, needing just one big inning to run their win streak to nine with a 4-0 shutout at Citi Field.

On a crisp Saturday that felt like fall, the Mets moved a game ahead of the Braves for the final wild card spot.

The Mets had not enjoyed a winning streak this long since April 3-13, 2018.
