Mets’ Rally Stalls in 11-8 Loss to Marlins as Peterson Shelled, Soto Homers Twice

The setback highlighted pitching volatility jeopardizing recent gains in the standings.

Overview

  • All-Star lefty David Peterson was tagged for a career-high eight runs in two-plus innings, putting New York in an 8-2 hole by the third.
  • Juan Soto went deep twice, including a two-run shot that tied the game 8-8 in the sixth, and finished with two walks and two steals.
  • Connor Norby put Miami back ahead with a seventh-inning sacrifice fly off Tyler Rogers and added a two-run double off Edwin Díaz in the ninth.
  • Recently recalled reliever Chris Devenski steadied the game with three scoreless innings, while the rest of the bullpen allowed three late runs.
  • A day after scoring a franchise-record 19 runs at home behind rookie Jonah Tong’s debut (5 IP, 1 ER, 6 K), the Mets fell 5.5 games behind the Phillies and hold a 4.5-game lead for the NL’s final wild card.
