Post-Game: Marlins 2 Mets 1

by Matthew Cerrone on April 12th, 2009 at 9:09 pm

The Marlins defeated the Mets, 2–1, in Miami today.

For a full recap and boxscore, go here.

The least you need to know…

  • Johan Santana pitched seven innings, and allowed just three hits.
  • Daniel Murphy dropped a routine pop-up with two outs, and two men on, who, when the ball dinked off his glove and rolled through the grass, rounded third and scored the Marlins only two runs.
  • The Mets were 1 for 5 with runners in scoring position.

Murphy, following the game, said:

“Inexcusable… Johan threw the ball really well and deserved a lot better than that.  I’m better than that.  It won’t happen like that again.  I was lazy to the ball and I got exposed for it.  I didn’t get back.  I got exposed, and it cost us.”

The Mets play their first-ever regular season game in Citi Field tomorrow against the Padres at 7:10 pm.
