Tough Night for the Marlins in New York 
Hey Marlins fans, it's a tough one to swallow tonight as we faced off against the Mets. Despite a rocky game, there were some bright spots to cheer about, so let's dive into the recap!Early Opportunities Squandered
We started with a promising walk by Xavier Edwards, who even managed to steal second! But unfortunately, our bats didn't come through as Jake Burger and Jesus Sánchez struck out swinging around a groundout by Jonah Bride. The Mets took an early lead in the bottom of the 1st after a throwing error from our pitcher allowed Brandon Nimmo to score off a J.D. Martinez single.
Middle Innings: A Glimmer of Hope
In the top of the 4th, we put up a fight when Bride doubled to left, followed by another double from Derek Hill which brought Bride home. Otto Lopez kept the momentum with an infield single, and Emmanuel Rivera's fielder's choice allowed Hill to score, putting us ahead 2-1! However, the Mets answered back fiercely in the bottom of the inning, scoring six runs including a three-run homer by Nimmo. 
Final Stretch: Struggling to Rally
Although Jake Burger brought a smile to our faces with a solo home run in the 5th inning, making it 7-3, our rally attempt fell short. The bats went cold as we couldn't muster any more runs, with the final few innings featuring several groundouts and flyouts. Met's pitching was just too strong tonight.
