He may have had a slow start, but Garrett Cooper has arrived. On an afternoon where the Miami Marlins offense couldn’t find any success against the New York Mets, it was Cooper who walked off the Mets with a home run to left center field.
Cooper came into the game having already hit a home run in the previous two games, and getting at least one hit in the previous seven. In those seven games, Cooper slashed .360/.385/.760.
On a 3-2 count against Mets reliever Drew Smith, Cooper took a 90 MPH cutter in the middle of the zone for a two-run home run.
