Flores came off the bench to hit a pinch-hit, two-run home run in the eighth inning to help the Mets cap a 6-3 win over the Reds on Wednesday.
Flores has been an everyday starter of late, and was getting a rest day Wednesday before manager Terry Collins decided to use him as a pinch hitter. The home run was Flores' 16th of the year, and brought his batting line up to .270/.323/.473 to go along with his 49 RBI.
