MIA 5, NYM 6; suspended game creates beautiful mess

Let the record show that on April 11, 2021...

  • Marlins starting pitcher John Curtiss was removed from the game before throwing any pitches, while the Mets’ Taijuan Walker threw 100 pitches on only two days’ rest
  • Elieser Hernandez took over Curtiss despite having been placed on the injured list earlier in the week
  • Bryan De La Cruz and Alex Jackson each played for Miami, months before being officially traded to the organization
  • Javier Báez, likewise months before being acquired by the Mets, capped off a five-run rally and scored the clinching run

In reality, due to inclement weather on the original game date, 98% of the action took place on August 31.
