Marlins Outlast Mets 11-8 After Soto’s Two Homers Erase Six-Run Deficit

New York’s wild-card margin narrowed after a bruising day for David Peterson.

Overview

  • Connor Norby delivered a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the seventh and a two-run double in the ninth, finishing with three RBIs in his second game back from the injured list.
  • All-Star lefty David Peterson allowed a career-high eight runs in two-plus innings as Miami built early leads of 5-0 in the first and 8-2 by the third.
  • Juan Soto homered twice — a solo shot in the fourth and a two-run blast in the sixth to tie it — while Mark Vientos hit a three-run homer and Francisco Lindor led off with a solo shot.
  • Recalled from Triple-A before the game, Chris Devenski stabilized the Mets with three hitless innings; Jose Castillo was designated for assignment in the corresponding move.
  • Tyler Rogers took the loss after the seventh-inning run, and Edwin Díaz yielded Norby’s insurance double in the ninth, leaving the Mets 73-63, 5½ games behind the Phillies and up 4½ for the NL’s third wild card.
