Miami, FL—After a 4-3 road trip, the Miami Marlins came back home to face one of the best teams in the NL: the New York Mets. Friday marked the beginning of a series with a big impact on their NL Wild Card hopes.
In the top of the 1st inning, with two outs and men on 1st and 2nd, newly acquired Met Daniel Vogelbach hit an 84.4 MPH liner to center field. JJ Bleday dove and caught it to keep the Mets without a run.
In the bottom of the 1st inning, Chris Bassitt took the mound for the Mets and the offense didn’t back down.
