NEW YORK -- The New York Mets will hope Tuesday night is the first time they get to see Jason Vargas pitch beyond the fifth inning. The Cincinnati Reds will hope it's the last time they aren't able to pencil Joey Votto's name into the starting lineup.
Votto is expected to sit out for the second time in three games Tuesday, when the visiting Reds battle the Mets in the middle contest of a three-game series at Citi Field.

Mets hoping for more from Vargas vs. Reds

NEW YORK (AP)  About 200 of Sal Romano's friends and family members drove two-plus hours to see him Tuesday night. A 1-hour, 40-minute rain delay wasn't going to deter that group from enjoying the right-hander's homecoming start.
Romano won in New York for the first time as a big leaguer Tuesday night, pitching into the seventh inning to lift the Cincinnati Reds over the Mets 6-1 in a game delayed by a thunderstorm in the first inning.
