NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Mets pounded the Miami Marlins Friday night evening in route to an 11-2 victory.
Amed Rosario hit a grand slam during an eight-run outburst that marked the Mets’ biggest first inning in three decades.
Michael Conforto and Jeff McNeil also homered for the previously slumping Mets, who set a season best with 15 hits and matched their high for runs. Zack Wheeler (3-2) struck out 11 over seven innings, reaching double digits for the third time in four outings.
After totaling only 15 runs on a 1-5 road trip, the Mets broke loose back home against Pablo Lopez (2-5) and the major league-worst Marlins (10-28).
