NEW YORK (AP) — Francisco Cervelli hit a three-run homer, Humberto Mejia impressed in his abbreviated major league debut and the Miami Marlins kept up their surprising surge, beating the New York Mets 4-3 Friday night.
The Marlins won their sixth in a row and improved to 7-1 — they’re 5-0 since missing more than a week because of the team’s coronavirus outbreak.
Miami has won despite already using 43 players, including 25 pitchers, to maintain a full roster amid COVID-19 concerns.
The Marlins, who went 57-105 last year, posted their latest victory on a rainy night.
