Walker's 9th HR helps Mets beat Reds 5-2 to win 6th straight (Yahoo Sports)

Neil Walker hit his ninth home run, tying for the major league lead, Matt Harvey won his second straight start and the New York Mets beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-2 Wednesday night to stretch their winning streak to six. Walker's third-inning homer off Jon Moscot (0-2) extended the Mets' lead to 3-1 and tied the team record for home runs in April. Mixing a changeup with a fastball that reached 97 mph, Harvey struck out a season-high seven and walked one.
