The Mets scored in the second to go up 1-0. Kevin Plawecki doubled to center field for Todd Frazier to score. Asdrubal Cabrera homered to right field on a 3-1 pitch in the third inning.
New York(33-48) expanded their margin to three runs in the top of the fourth and never looked back. Steven Matz knocked in Frazier with a base hit into center field.
Miami(34-51) placed their first run in the bottom of the fourth inning. Miguel Rojas scored on a fielding error by Matz during a Dan Straily at-bat.
The Mets pulled away with two runs during the eighth. Frazier drove in Cabrera on a double to deep center. A pickup attempt at third by J.T. Realmuto went off the right arm of Frazier, bounced into left field and Frazier crossed the plate.
The Marlins put up a tally in the bottom of the frame. Cameron Maybin pounded a solo home run to center field on a 2-1 count.
