MIAMI (SportsDirect Inc.) — New York Mets manager Terry Collins came up aces after electing to shuffle the cards within his lineup in a bid to generate some offense.
The new deal paid immediate dividends for the Mets, who look to ride the momentum of a trio of homers in the opener when they play the second contest of the three-game series versus the host Miami Marlins on Saturday.
Asdrubal Cabrera, who was moved into injured David Wright’s No. 2 slot in the order, homered and Nos. 7-8 batters James Loney and Rene Rivera belted two-run shots in New York’s 6-2 triumph on Friday.
