The Mets\u2019 offense once again could not get anything going in their 2-1 loss to the Marlins. With this loss they now drop below Miami in the standings to become cellar dwellars once again in National League East.<\/p>\n

Marlins starter Eury P\u00e9rez<\/a> had been struggling heading into this game so of course he gave up just one run and pitched into the seventh inning against this pitiful offense. Juan Soto<\/a> was the only Met batter to get to P\u00e9rez when he turned on a 100mph fastball and deposited it 449 feet away into the centerfield stands. The rest of the offense did not put up much of a fight except Carson Benge who had two great plays made against him in the outfield.<\/p>\n

Tobias Myers<\/a> got the start for the Mets but the team ultimately went with a bullpen game with all long men. None of the three pitched poorly but extra base hits combined with pesky Marlins baserunning ultimately doomed them. First it was Myers who departed in the second inning after he gave up a double with one out. A stolen base and a groundout later against Sean Manaea<\/a> and the game was tied at one apiece.<\/p>\n

Manaea for his part looked much better on the mound until he gave up a triple with two outs in the fourth. He couldn\u2019t work out of it when he gave up a hit to Owen Cassie and Miami took a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n

The newly recalled Jonah Tong came in after Manaea and pitched well. He didn\u2019t allow any hits in three innings and struck out two. It certainly was an encouraging appearance for the youngster who was having a bit of an uneven year in Triple-A.<\/p>\n

While a bullpen game isn\u2019t ideal, this loss is squarely on the shoulders of the offense who managed just two runs in the finale against Washington and now only scored one in the opener against the Marlins. They still have an opportunity to come out ahead in Miami, but this wasn\u2019t an ideal way to start a series against a team ahead of you in the standings.<\/p>\n
