The New York Mets defeat the Miami Marlins 4-2 on Thursday night at Citi Field, building the win around strong starting pitching and a late hit. Nolan McLean provides the Mets with six and one-third innings of solid work. Through much of the middle innings, Miami is limited at the plate, with the Mets holding the Marlins to one hit through five innings. After the game remains low scoring, Luis Robert Jr. delivers a deciding moment for New York. With two outs in the eighth inning, Robert records a two-RBI single that extends the Mets’ lead and breaks open the contest after the Marlins keep the game close for most of the night. The Mets use their late-inning offense to secure the final margin. Across multiple reports, the key themes are McLean’s effectiveness over 6 ⅓ innings and Robert’s two-run hit in the eighth as New York completes the 4-2 victory.
