JayBruce hit a tiebreaking homer off Shaun Marcum (0-5) and drove in two runs to back Johnny Cueto's wild but effective return from the disabled list for Cincinnati.
Cueto responded to the pep talk by striking out six of his last seven batters, then JayBruce helped make him a winner by hitting a tiebreaking home run that carried the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 victory over the New York Mets on Monday night.
