  • The Mets defeated the Marlins 10-5, extending their winning streak to six games and solidifying their position atop the NL East standings.
  • Pete Alonso delivered a pivotal three-run double in the sixth inning after the Marlins intentionally walked Juan Soto to load the bases.
  • Alonso, with four RBIs and two doubles in the game, continues to excel as a key offensive force early in the season, now leading the team with 15 RBIs.
  • The decision to walk Soto reflects opposing teams' tactical adjustments, but Alonso's performance underscores the risks of pitching to him instead.
  • The game at Citi Field was played under harsh weather conditions, with temperatures in the low 40s and strong winds, yet the Mets showcased resilience and depth in their lineup.
