Meet the Mets<\/p>\n
Despite scoring four runs in the first and adding three additional runs in the rest of regulation, the Mets allowed the Marlins to chip away and ultimately tie it, and the first game of the series between the two division rivals thus went into extra innings. The Amazins emerged victorious, however, thanks to a walk-off two-run homer off the bat of MJ Melendez.<\/p>\n
