Miami, FL—Aside from evaluating who will be a part of their 2023 plans, the Marlins don’t have much to play for in these final few weeks. Things could not be more opposite for the New York Mets, who came into loanDepot Park a mere half-game ahead of the Atlanta Braves for first place. Thanks to an all-of-a-sudden productive offense and a nice start from Edward Cabrera, the Marlins were able to play spoilers on Friday night.
After a 1-2-3 top of the first for Edward Cabrera, the Marlins gave him some early run support. Brian Anderson drew a one-out walk, and Garrett Cooper followed with a two-run home run into the AutoNation Alley.
