Miami MarlinsvsNew York Mets
MIA 2/NYM 4
Things to say
The Mets beat the Marlins 4-2 at Citi Field.
01
opener
Mets took it 4-2 at home. Tight one the whole way. Bullpen actually slammed the door for once.
02
key player
The starter was the story. Got into his stuff early, went deep into the game and kept the heart of Miami's order off balance.
03
hot take
Sitting at 47-63, this Mets team plays way better than the record. They're spoiling everybody's season right now.
04
deep cut
Marlins are dead even at 55-55 and still can't win the close ones on the road. That's the whole season in a nutshell.
05
exit
Anyway, getaway day tomorrow. Curious if the pen's got anything left for the next series.
The recap
Mets took care of business at Citi Field, edging the Marlins 4-2 in a tidy little getaway-day win. Not a slugfest, just enough offense to stay ahead and a bullpen that slammed the door late.
Miami hung around at 2 but never got the big hit when it mattered, and New York's arms made the two-run cushion stand up. Nothing flashy, but a win's a win, and the Mets snapped off a clean one at home.
