In a disappointing outing, the New York Mets fell to the Miami Marlins 2-1 at loanDepot park, unable to capitalize on a solid pitching performance. Juan Soto's impressive 449-foot home run in the first inning gave the Mets an early lead, but their offense faltered, managing only four baserunners throughout the game. The Mets' pitching trio of Tobias Myers, Sean Manaea, and Jonah Tong combined to limit the Marlins to just five hits, with Myers allowing one earned run in 1 1/3 innings as the opener. Manaea, making his first appearance since the Subway Series, pitched 3 2/3 innings and also allowed one earned run. Despite Soto's strong performance, which included two hits, the Mets could not muster sufficient offense to secure a victory. A.J. Ewing's late single was overshadowed by his subsequent thrown out at second base, marking a frustrating end to the game for the Mets.
