The Mets blanked the Marlins 9-0 this evening thanks to a pair of four-run innings in the first and sixth.<\/p>\n
Lefty Zach Thornton looked sharp, tossing three scoreless innings with three strikeouts to get things started for the Mets.<\/p>\n
He was provided with plenty of run support, as the Mets put up a four-run first inning in which Tyrone Taylor and Ryan Clifford each contributed RBI doubles.<\/p>\n
The Mets added a run in the second on an RBI triple by Carson Benge. Benge also had a two-RBI single in the sixth, taking a 3-2 pitch the other way with the bases loaded. The Mets put up another crooked number in that frame to extend their lead to 9-0.<\/p>\n
Devin Williams\u2019 airbender was working, as he fanned two in a hitless inning of work in the fifth.<\/p>\n
The Marlins loaded the bases a couple of times, but failed to score. Craig Kimbrel, Ofreidy G\u00f3mez, Matt Turner, Channing Austin, and Brian Metoyer each pitched a scoreless inning.<\/p>\n
The Mets will be back at it tomorrow at Clover Park, facing off against the Cardinals at 1:10pm EDT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Mets blanked the Marlins 9-0 this evening thanks to a pair of four-run innings in the first…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":530295,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[558],"tags":[64,63,263471,71619,33147,5141,591,1830,263472,85,2366,33145],"class_list":["post-530294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-carson-benge","tag-craig-kimbrel","tag-devin-williams","tag-marlins","tag-mlb","tag-new-york-mets","tag-sam-navarro-imagn","tag-sports","tag-st-louis-cardinals","tag-tyrone-taylor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=530294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/530294\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/530295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=530294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=530294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=530294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
