NEW YORK — Brandon Nimmo broke out of his slump with a three-run homer and Jeff McNeil launched a two-run shot, powering the New York Mets to a 7-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Friday night.
McNeil and Nimmo both went deep in a six-run fourth that included an RBI triple by Francisco Lindor. Sean Manaea (9-5) pitched seven effective innings for his third victory in four starts.
Nimmo's 390-foot line drive into the second deck in right field ended an 0-for-17 skid and was his first home run since July 10.
"I'm not doing very well and obviously, the worse you do, the less comfortable you feel," Nimmo said.
