A.J. Ewing and Marcus Semien carried the Mets offense. Ewing delivered a double that brought home Juan Soto and Carson Benge, while Semien added a double that brought Benge around later. Bradley Blalock then provided a stabilizing performance for Miami, keeping the Marlins scoreless over his relief outing.

After Francisco Alvarez's single tied the game in the third, Bo Bichette's single brought Francisco Lindor home and put New York back in front in the fourth. Ewing's double expanded the lead, and in the sixth, Semien's double brought Benge home before Ewing's single brought Semien across.

Miami answered early through Javier Sanoja's triple and Graham Pauley's homer, which brought Sanoja and Owen Caissie home. But Eury Perez was unable to contain the Mets' attack, while Jonah Tong earned the win despite Miami's early scoring.

The Mets extended their winning streak, while the Marlins' losing streak continued. The game belonged to the offense, but New York's ability to regain the lead and keep adding to it shaped the result.
