Canó, Alonso, and the bullpen send the Mets to victory in Miami

In the truest form of Mets, an 11-4 blowout win over the Marlins still produced irritation and annoyance right until the final out. The first inning of the game ended with bases loaded for the Marlins and the last inning of the game ended just the same. Somewhere in between those escaped jams, the Mets scored 11 runs and took down the formerly-first-place Miami Marlins.

Going all the way back to that first inning, things looked bleak as an increasingly wet Robert Gsellman toed the rubber and found himself on the wrong end of a 1-0 score as Jonathan Villar led off the game with a replay-reviewed single and two batters later, Matt Joyce doubled to bring him around to score.
