Post Game: Marlins 6 Mets 3
The Mets lost to the Marlins by the score of 6–3 in Citi Field tonight.
For a full recap and boxscore, click here.
The Least You Should Know:
Pat Misch struggled mightily in the first inning, allowing four Marlins to score. Three of which crossed the plate on a three-run homer by Cody Ross. Misch settled down rather nicely however, and completed six innings, allowing just one more run, a solo shot by Dan Uggla.
Ricky Nolasco stymied the Mets for most of the game, allowing only one hit until the sixth inning.
The Mets chipped away in the seventh. Carlos Beltran hit a rope that moved David Wright from first to third. Daniel Murphy then notched a RBI double. Jeff Francoeur battled Nolasco to a full count, and brought Beltran home on a sac fly, and Fernando Tatis capped off the scoring with a ground out to score Murphy.
With no outs in the eighth, Cory Sullivan walked and Angel Pagan nailed a ball right to Jorge Cantu who easily doubled up Sullivan, deflating the Mets chances to rally.
Misc., Etc., and Other Stuff:
Ron and Keith did well without the keystone, Gary Cohen in the booth. It was a leisurely game to watch, even if the Mets seemed flat tonight.
Nice in-game interview by Kevin Burkhardt with Josh Thole‘s dad who still throws his son batting practice in the winter.
At least the fans all got free hot dogs.
What’s Next for the Mets:
The Mets try to avoid the sweep as they conclude their series with the Marlins tomorrow night, with Bobby Parnell (3-7, 5.25) facing Sean West (6-5, 4.61) at 7:10 p.m.
