Brian Joura Mets360: "The road Mets offense showed up, as they put up four runs in the first inning and tacked on three more in the ninth, to salvage the last game of the series with a 7-3 win over the Marlins Sunday afternoon. The victory upped the Mets’ record in series finales to 12-4. Unfortunately, they are 9-21 in other games."
NY Post: Mets use fast start to salvage finale against Marlins. "For a second straight game, Francisco Lindor was hit by a pitch leading off the game. The Mets proceeded to load the bases, on a walk to Brandon Nimmo and DJ Stewart’s single, before Tyrone Taylor smashed a two-run double. Brett Baty followed with a walk and Harrison Bader’s single brought in two additional runs."
NY Daily News: Brandon Nimmo, Mets bounce-back to salvage series vs. Marlins in 7-3 win. "Manaea tossed five innings allowing two runs on five hits while striking out four. The left-hander continues to impress this season as his ERA is down to 3.11 on the season."
John Harper SNY.TV: GAME MVP: REED GARRETT "Garrett was excellent on Sunday, racking up four strikeouts and 10 swings-and-misses, many on his signature splitter, while pitching the final two innings of the game. The two scoreless innings lowered Garrett’s ERA to 0.72 for the season. He has 41 strikeouts in 25 innings."

From the Mets 10 Guardians 9 - Post Game Notes:
Brian Joura Mets360: For the second time in three days, the Mets rallied to tie the game and force extra innings. And just like that previous time, the Mets allowed two runs in the top of the 10th. And just like before, the Mets scored three runs in the bottom of the inning to earn the walk-off win. Francisco Lindor had the game-winning hit, giving the Mets the 10-9 win over the Guardians Friday night at Citi Field.
NY Post: Pete Alonso resurrected the Mets with a grand slam in the seventh inning that tied the score at 7-7. It was the fourth straight game with a homer for Alonso, who got so excited that while running between first and second base he turned backward and placed both hands on his head.

NY Post: Niese not in line for Mets bullpen despite Cardinals whipping. "In his worst start of the season, Niese lasted five-plus innings and allowed eight earned runs on 11 hits with one walk. The lefty departed after throwing 92 pitches....The Cardinals battered the lefty early and then delivered the knockout punch in the sixth, when they scored six runs against Niese and Erik Goeddel...Murphy’s two-run homer in the fourth inning gave the Mets their scoring. Michael Cuddyer walked leading off the inning before Murphy lofted a shot just inside the right-field foul pole to pull the Mets within 4-2."

National Pastime.com: Mets center fielder Angel Pagan initiates the tenth triple play in franchise history when he snags Nationals' Cristian Guzman's sinking liner with first and second base occupied. After making a catch that totally surprises baserunners, the outfielder overthrows the infield, but catcher Henry Blanco takes the errant toss and throws the ball to Jose Reyes at second base to double off Livan Hernandez, who relays the ball to first baseman Ike Davis to triple up Nyjer Morgan, making it the first 8-2-6-3 triple killing in major league history.
NY Post: "Angel Pagan hit an inside-the-park home run and started a triple play Wednesday night, but that wasn’t enough for the New York Mets in a 5-3 loss to the Washington Nationals. Pagan became the first player in 55 years to take part in both feats in the same game. Pinch-hitter Adam Kennedy’s sacrifice fly broke a 2-all tie in the seventh."

Mark Kotsay capped a 4-for-5 day with a sharp, two-out single through the right side off Strickland, snapping both a tie and the Mets’ five-game winning streak."
