The Mets were 17-32 on the road coming into this game, had not won three in a row on the road and Matt Harvey had not won on said road in two months, but the Marlins have proven a magical elixir for several teams over the course of the season, as the Mets beat Miami today by a final score of 8-6.
If you were to come upon this final score without opening up a box score, you may think that the game was a back and forth affair between two hard hitting offenses, but the reality is that the Mets looked like the superior, motivated team in every facet of the game right up until the bottom of the ninth inning.
