Coming into Saturday, the Marlins stood 2 games under .500. They had the opportunity to spoil the uniform number retirement day of Mets legend Keith Hernandez and clinch at least a split of the series with the NL East leaders. While the Marlins put up a good fight, it was the little things that lost them this one. Good teams find ways to win, but ultimately, this team beat themselves.

On the very first pitch, Jon Berti sent it to the right field corner, giving the Marlins a runner in scoring position right away.
