Another day for the Mets, another update to the injured list.

Prior to the game, Pete Alonso, one of the few remaining offensive regulars, was placed on the 10-day IL with a right hand sprain. Reliever and fan favorite Tommy Hunter was also suffering from lower back pain and will be out for 10 days.

Regardless, the team, and more specifically the “Bench Mob,” trudged on as the Mets, who made their share of fundamental mistakes, beat the Marlins, 6-5 in 12-innings.

The Mets fired the opening salvo in the top of the first off Miami Marlins’ opener John Curtiss, decked out along with the rest of the team in their orange pinstriped “City Connect” uniforms.

Jonathan Villar drew a walk and promptly stole second to set the table immediately. Francisco Lindor then drilled a ball down the right field line and Villar came in to score.

After Cameron Maybin flew out, Dominic Smith flew out, and Lindor tested the arm of Marlins’ center fielder Magneuris Sierra, who threw to third.

The ball got past third baseman Brian Anderson and Curtiss backing it up that allowed Lindor to score.

The Marlins chipped into the deficit in the second. Mets’ starter Marcus Stroman put runners on second and third to kick off the frame. After Garrett Cooper struck out, Sandy Leon hit a sacrifice fly, but Stroman limited the damage by setting down Sierra on strikes.

The Mets got that run back in the fourth on a RBI double from none other than folk hero Tomas Nido, who continues to tear the cover off the ball.

Behind the dish, Nido also had an outstanding game, as he hosed two runners attempting to steal.

On the mound, Stroman scattered six hits in six plus innings.

The right-hander came back out for the seventh and walked the first batter to face him, so Mets’ manager Luis Rojas pulled the cord and went to reliever Miguel Castro.

Unfortunately for the Mets, Castro served up a home run to Garrett Cooper to knot the game up at three apiece. The righty did buckle down and punch out the next three, however.

Trevor May came on for the eighth and labored through nearly 30 pitches, due in part to being squeezed by the home plate umpire, Tim Timmons.

May juiced the bases and was in danger of walking in a run as he brought Cooper to a 3-2 count, but punched him out. A fired up May was noticeably angry at Timmons as you could see in the dugout, and rightfully so. One has to figure he will be unavailable for Saturday’s matchup and possibly Sunday.

Jeurys Familia came on in the ninth and walked Leon, then allowed a single to Sierra as the Marlins looked to walk New York off.

Jesus Aguilar, pinch hitting for closer Yimi Garcia, popped out to Lindor at short, then Jazz Chisholm flew out to Dominic Smith out in left.

Familia played master escape artist by then punching out Miguel Rojas to end the frame and send it to extras.

Jake Hager was the free runner to kick off the tenth, and he subsequently advanced to third on an infield single from Wilfredo Tovar, his first in nearly eight years for the Mets.

Brandon Drury struck out and Johneshwy Fargas hit one right on the screws to Chisholm at second.

James McCann drew a walk to load the bases for Jonathan Villar, but El Caballo Loco grounded out to end the frame.

Edwin Diaz came on for the bottom of the tenth, and induced a ground ball out to kick off the frame. However, James McCann, who came in as a pinch hitter and remained in the game, had a ball go through him that allowed the free runner to advance to third.

Diaz promptly mowed down the next two batters to send the game into the 11th.

Jonathan Villar began the 11th as the runner at second, and advanced to third on a single from Francisco Lindor. However, Villar was picked off at third by the Marlins’ 10th pitcher of the night, Adam Cimber, that knocked the sails right out of the Mets’ threat.

Drew Smith came in next and got Cooper to ground out that moved the ghost runner, Brian Anderson, to third.

However, Smith punched out Leon for the second out. Then, they opted to walk Sierra to get to pitcher Adam Cimber, who remained in to hit as he was the last remaining man in the Marlins’ bullpen.

Cimber nearly ended the game as he lofted one to right field, but Cameron Maybin flagged it down to send it to the 12th inning.

The 12th is where the Bench Mob arose from it slumber. Jake Hager notched his first MLB hit to put runners on the corners to kick off the frame.

Khalil Lee, who was 0-for-8 with eight strikeouts to kick off his big league career, gave the Mets the lead with a double to right.

Johneshwy Fargas then busted it open with a bases-clearing triple that he tried to stretch into an inside-the-park home run but was gunned down at the plate.

Aaron Loup took the hill for the bottom of the 12th to seal the deal for the Mets, but got into trouble. The southpaw surrendered two runs but in the midst of it, induced a mammoth double play rolled by Francisco Lindor. However, the Mets brought in Jacob Barnes to record the final out.

Barnes, who was rocked for a walk-off dinger last time out in Atlanta, put the finishing touches on this one, by getting Adam Duvall to fly out to left.

Eighteen pitchers later, and the Mets hang on by a thread to win 6-5.

The Amazin’s have a quick turnaround, as they play on Saturday at 4 p.m. The Mets’ starter is TBA, but the Marlins will have Pablo Lopez toeing the rubber as the opposition.
