The Mets faced the daunting odds of going up against Cy Young favorite Sandy Alcántara in the series opener against the Marlins, but they did not let that stop them from continuing their winning ways. The offense got the Miami ace out of the game after just five innings, and a two-run home run by Brandon Nimmo in the eighth delivered the Mets their fourth straight victory.
Before the game, the Mets made a series of roster moves to add Tyler Naquin, Stephen Nogosek, and Sam Clay to the active squad.
Naquin’s presence provides the team with some additional lineup possibilities.
