MIAMI — The Mets’ draining weekend ended in a 4-2 loss to the Miami Marlins on Sunday afternoon, after some spirited efforts had fended off a no-hitter in the eighth inning and then rallied for a tie in the ninth inning.
The defeat was the Mets’ third in a row after a 16-inning win over Miami that ended early Friday and left them with an exhausted bullpen.
Neil Walker broke up the potential no-hitter with two outs in the eighth inning, when he got a single off Brad Ziegler, the Marlins’ fourth pitcher of the game.
