The New York Mets’ offense got shut down again in their series opener against the Miami Marlins, as starter Eury Perez and three relievers combined to hold the Mets to one run as the Mets lost a 2-1 game in Miami.
The only Met who hit in this one was the red-hot Juan Soto, as he got the Mets off to a fast start with his 10th home run of the year to give the Mets a 1-0 lead.
The Marlins got the run back in the bottom of the second against Mets opener Tobias Myers as Esteury Ruiz doubled, then stole third, with a ground ball by Owen Caissie getting the run home to tie the game at 1-1.
Sean Manaea relieved Myers and pitched well initially. He allowed the groundout that got Miam’s first run in, but that was charged to Myers, and his velocity was back up in the low 90s in what was easily his strongest outing of the season.
But the Marlins took the lead in the fourth against Manaea as Ruiz tripled into the right field corner, and Caissie delivered again with an RBI single to put Miami up 2-1.
Perez left in the seventh with a one-run lead after posting a strong outing, giving up two hits to Soto including the solo homer, but otherwise he completely shut down the Mets lineup. He was picked up by Andrew Nardi, who also did a nice job to get the Marlins to the eighth inning without allowing a hit or a run.
Jonah Tong made his first appearance of the season for the Mets, and it was a successful one in relief as Tong pitched three shutout innings. The relief part was a surprise, as he was rumored to be making a spot start over the weekend against Miami.
Michael Peterson followed Nardi to the mound to get the Marlins through the eighth, and Pete Fairbanks pitched a scoreless ninth to get his sixth save of the season.
This was yet another game in which the Mets were done in by their generally anemic offense, The downside of going with three rookie outfielders is that none of them hit for power, and Soto and Mark Vientos are the only real long-ball threats in the lineup. The Mets will send Freddy Peralta to the mound against Max Meyer of the Marlins in game two tomorrow afternoon.
