The Mets fell to the Marlins 4-2 in the final game of a four game set Sunday afternoon. After rallying late to tie the game, the Mets fell on a walk-off blast in the bottom of the ninth.
Pitching
Matt Harvey made his third start of the season Sunday afternoon. He allowed a run in the first on a bunt single, an error on a pick off, and a ground out. After that he was in control for most of the afternoon but allowed a run in the sixth. Harvey allowed two runs, one earned, on six hits and struck out four over six innings.
Josh Smoker threw a scoreless inning in relief, striking out one in a scoreless seventh.
Hansel Robles pitched the eighth and retired the side unharmed.
Addison Reed blew his first save of the season. After being bailed out by his defense, Reed allowed a two run walk-off homer to J.T. Riddle.
Offense
Offensively, the Mets were shut down the whole afternoon until the ninth. Four Marlins pitchers combined for a no-hitter through 7.2 innings.
Neil Walker was the lone bright spot for the offense as he walked three times and broke up the no hitter in the eighth.
Yoenis Cespedes also singled in the eighth for the Mets second hit of the game and walked once. Cespedes also made a beautiful outfield assist to save the game in the ninth.
Travis d’Arnaud continued his strong road trip picking up a single in the ninth to start the rally.
Wilmer Flores picked up a two out single, and took second on an error to keep the inning going in the ninth.
Asdrubal Cabrera lined a two out, two run game-tying double.
