NEW YORK (AP) — Wilson Ramos singled home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning after hobbled Mets closer Edwin Díaz and the bullpen blew another lead provided by Jacob deGrom, and New York beat the Miami Marlins 5-4 on Wednesday night.
The teams played despite three postponements around Major League Baseball on Wednesday as players boycotted games to protest racial injustice following the shooting by police of a Black man Sunday in Wisconsin.
DeGrom, the two-time reigning NL Cy Young Award winner, set New York up nicely by matching a career high with 14 strikeouts and handing off a 4-1 lead to begin the eighth inning, but Miami promptly loaded the bases with one out against Justin Wilson.
