The Mets and Reds are set for a three-game series starting Friday, with key storylines including the return of Francisco Alvarez from injury, who has excelled despite ongoing issues, and Jonah Tong’s second start after a strong debut. The Reds, struggling recently, face a challenging matchup against the Mets, who are gaining momentum in the Wild Card race, while Hunter Greene aims to continue his elite performance on the mound.
