The Mets played a thriller on Wednesday night at Citi Field against the Marlins, coming out on top 5-4. In the midst of the pennant race, every game the Mets play matters, and it became more and more apparent as the game tonight went on.
Taijuan Walker got the start for the Mets and in the first three innings, moved through the Marlins lineup with ease. In the fourth inning, he ran into some trouble, with Brian De La Cruz hitting a two-run homer to put the Marlins up 2-0. Walker exited the game in the sixth inning with two runners on, with one of those runners scoring when Seth Lugo gave up a sacrifice fly to make it 3-0 Miami.
