In this story:

The Reds lost the final game of the series against the New York Mets on Sunday by a score of 3-1. This was the first series loss for the Reds this season. They fall to 5-4 on the year.

Here's the good, bad and ugly from Sunday's game:

The Good

Brent Suter tossed three scoreless innings, giving up just two hits. He came in for the injured Tejay Antone. Suter kept the score close and ate some innings, which allowed the Reds to stay within striking distance.

The Bad

The hitting was putrid. Jake Fraley and Will Benson often don’t play against lefties, however it might be worth putting them on the field regardless of who's on the mound.

Elly De La Cruz had a hit in every game this season until Sunday. His 13-game hitting streak dating back to last season was snapped.

Losing the first series of the year always stings especially against a team that has struggled early on.

Andrew Abbott wasn't awful, allowing three runs on seven hits in five innings, but the offense didn't give him or the bullpen any run support.

The Ugly

The injury Antone suffered was in his elbow which he has had tons of issues with in the past. He was only able to throw one pitch before leaving the game. Hopefully it isn't as serious as it looked.
