The Mets were looking to bounce back from their first loss of the season, and it wasn’t pretty, but they managed to put together a 6-2 win over the Marlins. Neither starter was very effective, but Tylor Megill managed to stick around an inning longer than his counterpart Edward Cabrera and that made all the difference.
The Mets chased Cabrera after four innings and two runs. His pitch count escalated quickly when he issued six walks to Met hitters. The Mets benefitted from the free passes in the fourth when they were down 2-1 and Mark Canha walked to lead off the inning, you’ll be hearing his name often during the rest of the recap.
