MIAMI — This latest offensive performance was strictly from the stone age, B.C. — Before Cespedes — until the Mets discovered fire in Tuesday’s eighth inning.
Yoenis Cespedes didn’t even have to contribute. The important hits came from guys named Eric Campbell and Juan Lagares in what became the Mets’ fifth straight victory, 5-1 over the Marlins.
The Mets (57-50) won their second straight road game in the same series for the first time since May 10, when they beat the Phillies. And the consecutive road victories are the Mets’ first since beating the Dodgers and Giants on July 5 and 6.
