New York defeats Miami 4-2 on Thursday night as Luis Robert Jr. delivers a two-run single during an eighth-inning rally. With two outs in the inning, Bo Bichette doubles off Michael Petersen, and Carson Benge follows with a single before stealing second to set up Robert’s go-ahead hit. Robert’s RBI is part of a broader scoring push that allows the Mets to take the lead late in the game and ultimately hold the advantage.
Brooks Raley earns the win for New York after providing five outs across the seventh and eighth innings. For the Marlins, Petersen takes the loss as Miami cannot overcome the late deficit. The victory comes against the Marlins as New York continues play in the run to the upcoming trade deadline, with Raley noted as an impending free agent and discussed as a potential trade candidate.
Robert’s hit is his fourth in 29 at-bats since returning to the Mets on July 20 following a three-month stay on the injured list.
