The Marlins pounded the Mets’ beleaguered bullpen that now lacks Seth Lugo and Robert Gsellman en route to an 8-1 victory.
But that’s not what really matters about this game. What really matters about this game is that David Wright pinch hit in this game. It was a fleeting moment. If you blinked, you may have missed it. But he did lead off the fifth inning so he spent a significant time in the on-deck circle drinking in the rousing applause from the Citi Field faithful. On the very first pitch he saw from Jose Urena, he hit a sharp grounder to third for an out.
