The Mets battled through a tense back-and-forth game against the Marlins at loanDepot park, eventually emerging victorious in 11 innings by a score of 6-5. Pete Alonso played the hero with a game-tying home run in the eighth and later scored the go-ahead run in the 11th to seal the win.

Early Action

The Mets wasted no time getting on the board, striking in the first inning when Alonso ripped an RBI double to bring in Juan Soto. That early 1-0 lead held until the third, when Miami capitalized on a Mets error to take a 2-1 advantage.

Pete Alonso continued his strong night with another double in the fourth, but the Mets struggled to bring runners home against Miami’s pitching staff.

Late-Inning Drama

Down 4-1 entering the eighth, the Mets needed a spark. After Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto reached base, Alonso launched a three-run home run to center field, tying the game at 4-4 and silencing the Miami crowd.

The Marlins threatened in the bottom of the eighth, but a wild sequence saw Xavier Edwards thrown out at home on a fielder’s choice, and Griffin Conine was caught stealing to keep the game tied.

Both teams remained scoreless through the ninth and tenth innings, with the Mets unable to capitalize on a bases-loaded opportunity in the tenth.

Mets Take Control in the 11th

With Juan Soto starting the 11th on second base, the Mets finally broke through. A bases-loaded walk to Jesse Winker forced in the go-ahead run, and an error on a Mark Vientos grounder allowed Alonso to score an insurance run, putting the Mets up 6-4.

Miami got one run back in the bottom half, but Huascar Brazobán shut the door with a game-ending strikeout, securing the Mets’ hard-fought win.

Final Takeaways

• Alonso’s Power: The slugger finished with two doubles and a clutch home run.
• Lindor’s Tough Night: He struck out three times but still managed a key single in the eighth.
• Pitching Resilience: Despite some shaky moments, the bullpen held strong late.

With the win, the Mets continue their solid start to the season and look to carry this momentum into the next game.
