Mets Shut Down By Marlins In First Game Since Positive COVID-19 Tests
NEW YORK (AP) — Miguel Rojas’ two-run single capped a three-run second inning and four pitchers combined on an eight-hitter to lead the Miami Marlins past the New York Mets 4-0 on Tuesday night in the first game of a doubleheader.
It was the Mets’ first game since a player and a coach tested positive for the coronavirus.
The Mets put runners on in every inning against the quartet of Dan Castano, Richard Bleier, Brad Boxberger and Brandon Kintzler but went 1 for 12 with runners on base. Castano, a rookie left-hander making his fourth big league start, allowed six hits and three walks with one strikeout over 4 2/3 innings but was pulled an out before qualifying for his first big league win.
