After losing the first two games of the series and their last 3 overall, the Mets looked to get back on track on Wednesday night. The 9,760 fans at loanDepot Park—most of them rooting for the boys from Queens—saw them do exactly that.
Zach Thompson was on the mound for the Marlins in this one, and he did what he’s done all year: keep his team in the game. After a 1-2-3 top of the first, Thompson ran into trouble in the second inning. Dominic Smith led the frame off with a double, followed by a Javier Baez single and a walk to Michael Conforto.
