MIAMI — One night after the Mets had a dismal offensive showing against the Miami Marlins, they answered some questions with a 6-2 win to move to 2-1 in the series and on the season.
Mark Canha had a home run, a double, an RBI single, a walk and three runs scored and Omar Narvaez went 2 for 3 with two RBIs to beat the Marlins on Saturday at LoanDepot Park. Right-hander Tylor Megill went five innings to earn the win in place of Justin Verlander and the Mets played stellar defense behind him.
Pete Alonso made a fantastic play at first base in the seventh and Francisco Lindor made the play of the game in the sixth inning, showcasing elite range and a strong arm to get Bryan De La Cruz out and save two runs.
