diaz brothers pitch in same game for 1st time as mets top reds in front of family at citi field

Edwin Diaz 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 Diaz, with Reds teammate Nick Martinez translating from Spanish to English.

For the first time in their careers as All-Star closers, the Diaz brothers pitched in the same game Friday as the Mets beat the Reds 6-4 on Mark Vientos' two-run homer off Justin Wilson in the 10th inning.
