Overview

• Holmes threw six scoreless innings in a combined one-hitter as the Mets beat the Marlins 5-0 at loanDepot park.
• The win moved New York to 83-78 and ensured the season finale will matter in the tight Wild Card race, with Cincinnati holding the tiebreaker.
• Mendoza confirmed pitching decisions remain one day at a time, with Sunday’s starter undecided after using flexible roles all week.
• David Peterson was made available out of the bullpen for the weekend, with Sean Manaea also in play depending on need.
• The Mets continued to cycle in fresh arms late in the week, designating Richard Lovelady for assignment, calling up Kevin Herget, and outrighting Chris Devenski, as Reed Garrett pursued a second opinion after a Tommy John recommendation.
