The Mets demonstrated their offensive capabilities early on, with significant contributions from several players. Lorenzo Cedrola shone brightly, boasting an impressive batting average of .667 and slugging percentage of 1.000 after getting two hits in three at-bats. Darin Ruf matched this performance with a .667 batting average and contributed one run to the team's total. Tomás Nido also made notable contributions with a .667 batting average and two hits in three at-bats.


On the pitching side, Tylor Megill led the starters with an earned run average (ERA) of 0.0 over four innings pitched, showcasing his control by maintaining a whip of 1.0. David Robertson and Jeff Brigham both contributed scoreless relief appearances, further stifling any attempts by the Marlins to rally back.


The Miami Marlins tried to mount a comeback in the sixth inning by scoring all three of their runs but were unable to overcome the deficit created by the Mets' powerful fifth inning where they scored four runs.


Looking ahead, fans can catch more action as the New York Mets are set to host Washington Nationals at Clover Park in Port St Lucie on March 14th at 1:10 PM EDT. This upcoming game will be broadcasted on SNY for those looking to follow along live.
