NEW YORK (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins couldn’t have picked a worse time to visit Queens.
The New York Mets are convinced their earlier struggles have made them stronger for the stretch.
Michael Conforto homered twice, Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil hit two-run shots and surging New York beat the Miami Marlins 7-2 Wednesday to complete a four-game sweep.
The Mets took another early lead and posted their sixth straight victory, winning for the 13th time in 14 games. New York has swept the last-place Marlins three times this season.
They sat a season-high 11 games under .
