QUEENS (CBSMiami/SportsDirect) – The Miami Marlins can’t seem to put a full nine inning game together.
A sweep at the hands of National League East-leading Washington appears to have served as a wake-up call for the New York Mets, who go for their sixth consecutive victory in the middle contest of their three-game set versus the Miami Marlins on Tuesday.
The Mets erased a six-run deficit to stun Miami 8-6 in the series opener.
New York has amassed 40 runs during its winning streak, which included a four-game sweep of the Chicago Cubs, to pull within four games of the Nationals.
