Marlins Shut Down Mets

     The Miami Marlins knocked off the New York Mets 6-4 at Citi Field on Tuesday night. The Marlins began their final road trip of the 2022 season. 
     Miami(64-90) scooted out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first. Bryan De La Cruz hit a sacrifice fly to center field and Miguel Rojas crossed the plate. Brian Anderson later scored in a wild pitch. 
     The Fish made it a four-run margin in the third inning. J.J. Bleday hooked a two-run homer down the right-field line with De La Cruz aboard. It was the fifth home run for Bleday this year. 
     New York(97-58) composed three runs in the bottom of the fourth. Pete Alonso lifted a three-run homer to left field on a 3-2 pitch for his 40th home run of the 2022 season. Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Lindor scored in front of him on the play. 
     In the fifth inning, the Fish extended their lead to 6-3. Jacob Stallings singled into center field for Anderson and Charles Leblanc to score. 
     The Mets closed the gap to 6-4 during the bottom of the eighth on an unusual way. Jeff McNeil reached home on a balk by Richard Bleier.
