MIAMI (AP) — Manager Mickey Callaway said before the Mets played Saturday night that he was not concerned with Robinson Cano’s lack of power thus far.
Why not?
“Because I knew he was going to hit a bomb tonight to win it,” Callaway quipped. “You guys didn’t realize that?”
Cano hit a tie-breaking, two-run homer in the eighth inning to lift New York to a 4-2 victory over the Miami Marlins.
“It meant a lot, not because I hit a homer, but because it helped to win a game,” Cano said. “I know in that situation I haven’t been that successful this year, but I’m a positive guy and the good thing about this game is you’re always going to get the same situation over and over.
