scratched from the lineup because of illness<\/a>. Mendoza indicated sickness has been spreading through the clubhouse in recent days.<\/p>\nThe lineup change removed one of the few productive players in the Mets lineup. Soto has a 1.342 OPS with six homers over his last 10 games. MJ Melendez took his spot.<\/p>\n
Christopher Morel\u2019s leadoff double against Williams, who had a streak of 10 straight scoreless appearances snapped, began the winning rally. <\/p>\n
After a sacrifice bunt moved the lead run to third and Liam Hicks walked, the Mets loaded the bases with an intentional walk to Xavier Edwards. <\/p>\n
Hern\u00e1ndez cleared the center field fence on the second pitch.<\/p>\n
Christian Scott had his best outing this season, allowing only four hits and two walks over 5 \u00b2\/\u2083 scoreless innings. <\/p>\n

The right-hander struck out five and departed with the game scoreless after Jakob Marsee\u2019s two-out single in the sixth.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s part of baseball,\u201d Scott said of the phantom run support. \u201cBut we have got the utmost faith and confidence in these guys going forward and I feel like we\u2019re one little step away from turning something on here.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Mets put multiple runners on base in the second, fourth and fifth innings but did not score.<\/p>\n
In the second, Hayden Senger was retired for the final out after a two-out walk to Tyrone Taylor.<\/p>\n

In the sixth, Baty drew a leadoff walk before Semien grounded into a double play. Melendez got hit by a pitch before Taylor was retired.<\/p>\n
Carson Benge walked and stole second in the seventh, but was left stranded at third when Ewing struck out to conclude the frame.<\/p>\n
Ewing threw a strike to the plate in the bottom of the inning to nail Sanoja attempting to score from second on Xavier Edwards\u2019 single through the middle against Brooks Raley. <\/p>\n
The Marlins loaded the bases with two outs on Caissie\u2019s infield single before Raley retired Stowers.<\/p>\n
Melendez singled leading off the ninth, but pinch runner Nick Morabito got thrown out attempting to steal second.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we\u2019re doing right now is not good,\u201d Mendoza said. \u201cWe have got a few guys that are having a hard time. We\u2019re having a hard time creating traffic, a hard time squaring the ball up and we have got to figure it out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MIAMI \u2014 Their season ended at loanDepot park last year, and Sunday sure seemed like d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242841,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[20390,37495,20,9,11,320,10,319],"class_list":["post-242840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-juan-soto","tag-miami-marlins","tag-mlb","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-mets","tag-new-york-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242840\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
