When David Wright came to the plate for the last time, the Reds had little choice: They had to pitch to him.
And Wright pounded them, the same way he’s punished most everyone else this season.
Wright lined his second double of the game, a tiebreaking drive in the eighth inning that raised his major league-leading average to .411 and sent the Mets past the Reds 9-4 Thursday.
“All is good,” Wright said.
Down 4-0, the Mets began their comeback in the middle innings. Then, they were the surprise winners in a matchup of bullpens that were going in different directions, and spoiled the Reds’ extended stay in New York.
