The Mets offense left plenty to be desired in their first loss of the 2023 campaign, falling to the divisional rival Miami Marlins by a score of 2-1.
Jesús Luzardo, for the first five innings of his first start of the year, was as exquisite as the throwback uniform he donned tonight, surrendering just a single hit over the first five frames, an opposite field single to Starling Marte. Luzardo hit a bit of a wall in the sixth, after retiring the first two batters of the frame with relative ease.
A Nimmo walk and a second Marte single got a two-out rally going, and a Francisco Lindor walk loaded the bases JT Chargois came in to relieve Luzardo and got Pete Alonso to line out sharply to Jazz Chisholm to end the threat.
