A day after their extra inning, sweep-completing win over the Nationals on Sunday night, the Mets kept the ball rolling with a 4-2 win over the Marlins. All the veterans, including the ailing Yoenis Cespedes, wanted to play, despite getting into Miami at five in the morning. Maybe letting them all play wasn’t the wisest choice by Mickey Callaway, but it’s fun to see veterans so heavily invested this early in the season. Anyway, to the game itself.
Michael Conforto lead off the game with a single, but that opportunity was wasted when Conforto was caught stealing.
