The sole run of the game came in the fourth inning, marking a pivotal moment that would eventually decide the outcome. Despite both teams having opportunities to score, pitchers on each side dominated, keeping runners stranded and preventing any further runs from crossing home plate.


Luis Severino's performance on the mound was instrumental for the Mets. He showcased his skill with an impressive ERA of 0.0 and WHIP of 0.8333 over six innings pitched, striking out seven batters along the way and maintaining an OBP against him at .240. His ability to deliver pitches effectively under pressure was evident as he navigated through Miami's lineup with precision.

From an offensive standpoint, Demetrius Stewart stood out for the Mets with an average of .500 and an OPS of 1.167 during this game; his contribution was crucial in creating scoring opportunities for his team. Francisco Lindor also played a key role in supporting New York's offense by hitting .250 and maintaining an OBP of .400.
