In the early innings it looked as though the Mets would handle the Marlins in Queens last yesterday, but the offense fell silent after the first few innings and the Mets’ bullpen was unable to hold on as the Marlins defeated New York 7-4.

Gary Sheffield’s two-run triple showed that the old man still has wheels, but also showed that the Mets offense is capable of striking hard and fast. But unfortunately for the Mets, they were unable to hold their early lead in the latter innings.

Sean Green, a Mets reliever allowed four runs in the seventh inning. A three-run homerun from Jorge Cantu on ‘a sinker that didn’t sink’ was the shot to the heart of the Mets pitching staff in what was to be the first Marlins victory in the past eight games after a fast start to the season. Furthermore, it was the Mets fourth loss this season in a game in which they were up by at least three runs at some point.

Next up for the Mets is a weekend series in Philadelphia against the reigning World Series Champion Phillies. Grab some New York Mets tickets and get out there and greet the Mets!
