Tonight the Mets tried to continue their dominance of the Miami Marlins. The Marlins thought otherwise and squeaked a 4-3 win with a walk-off hit. The Marlins' 9th started when Trevor Gott hit the first batter. That should have been a sign that things were going to get worse. With second and third occupied and [...]
Jeff McNeil led off the ninth inning with a home run to right field, snapping a tie and sending the Mets to a 2-1 victory over the Marlins Monday night in Miami. Pitchers have been busting McNeil inside all season and for the first four months of the year, McNeil had no answers. But the [...]
