Miami MarlinsvsNew York Mets
MIA 5/NYM 2
Things to say
The Marlins beat the Mets 5-2 at Citi Field to take the getaway day.
01
opener
Marlins went into Citi and took it, 5-2. Getaway day and the Mets just looked flat. Not a good look at home.
02
key player
Miami's bats did the damage early and their pen slammed the door — Mets never got the heart of the order going.
03
hot take
Say what you want about a sub-.500 Mets club, but the Marlins are the ones playing October baseball right now.
04
deep cut
Five runs on the road at Citi is no joke — that's a pitcher's park, and Miami left the yard on somebody.
05
exit
Anyway, I want to see who they run out there next series — that's the real test.
The recap
Miami went into Citi Field and walked out with a 5-2 win, flexing some muscle when it mattered. The Marlins got timely pop from the heart of the order and left the yard just enough to keep the Mets' bullpen sweating all night.
New York's two runs never really threatened once Miami built the cushion. A quiet getaway-day beatdown that pushes the Marlins over .500 while the Mets keep sinking.
