Mets Come Back On Marlins

     The New York Mets had their home opener at Citi Field and won over the Miami Marlins 3-2 on Thursday. The Marlins played their first game on the road this season. 
     New York(2-2) waited until the bottom of the fifth to take a 1-0 lead. Dominic Smith hit a sacrifice fly to the warning track in center field for Francisco Lindor to score. 
     Miami(1-6) responded in the top of the sixth to take the lead. Corey Dickerson drove in Jon Berti with a double into the right-field corner. Three batters later, Jesus Aguilar singled through the left side of the infield and Dickerson scored to make it 2-1. 
     The Mets tied it up 2-2 in the bottom of the ninth with none out. Jeff McNeil picked up his first hit of the season with a solo home run to right field on a 3-1 pitch. 
     They continued with a one-out rally as Luis Guillorme got an infield single to the right side. Brandon Nimmo sliced a double down the left-field line for a double. After Lindor was intentionally walked to load the bases, Michael Conforto was hit by a pitch and Guillorme crossed the plate for the 3-2 victory.
