The Mets brought the lumber and benefited from multiple Marlins mistakes to pound Miami, 11-3, Saturday night at Citi Field for their sixth win in the past eight games.
For the first time since August 2007, the Mets have scored at least seven runs in five straight games and will attempt to complete their first home sweep of the season Sunday with Matt Harvey on the mound.
The Mets toyed with Miami starter Odrisamer Despaigne (0-1) from the very beginning of his first appearance of the season, roughing him up for five runs in the first inning, but they needed a Marlins miscue to create an opening.
