The Marlins were not set up for success Monday afternoon, flying in from Miami for a single make-up game against the Mets, cruelly matched up with Jacob deGrom for the fourth time in August. But they rallied to finish the month on a high note, with rookies coming up clutch in the 5-3 victory.
Rogers wasn’t as imposing in this start as he had been during his MLB debut in New York last Tuesday. However, he kept most balls in play on the ground and got five critical whiffs with his changeup (complementing his trusty fastball).
