Miami MarlinsvsNew York Mets
MIA 6/NYM 2
Things to say
The Marlins beat the Mets 6-2 at Citi Field.
01
opener
Marlins took it 6-2 over at Citi. Mets bats just never showed up. Kind of a quiet night for that lineup.
02
key player
Miami's staff got into their stuff early and choked off the heart of the order. Two runs is nothing when your guy's cruising like that.
03
hot take
Honestly the Mets are 47-65 for a reason. This wasn't an upset, that's just who they are right now.
04
deep cut
The Marlins are over .500 at 57-55. Nobody's talking about it, but they've quietly been the better club all year.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Mets can bounce back tomorrow. Long season, right?
The recap
Miami rolled into Citi Field and stole a getaway-day win, punching out the Mets 6-2. The Marlins bats got into the heart of the order early and never let up, while New York's offense could only scratch across a pair.
Whatever the Mets had planned on the mound, Miami solved it, stringing together enough traffic to blow it open late. At 57-55, the surprising Marlins keep hanging around the race while the Mets sink deeper at 47-65.
