MIA 5, NYM 6; suspended game creates beautiful mess
SNY Let the record show that on April 11, 2021...
Marlins starting pitcher John Curtiss was removed from the game before throwing any pitches, while the Mets’ Taijuan Walker threw 100 pitches on only two days’ rest
Elieser Hernandez took over Curtiss despite having been placed on the injured list earlier in the week
Bryan De La Cruz and Alex Jackson each played for Miami, months before being officially traded to the organization
Javier Báez, likewise months before being acquired by the Mets, capped off a five-run rally and scored the clinching run
In reality, due to inclement weather on the original game date, 98% of the action took place on August 31.
