NY Mets at Miami When: 7:10 PM ET, Wednesday, April 29, 2015 Where: Marlins Park, Miami, Florida SportsDirect Inc. The New York Mets hope to avoid a second straight series loss when they visit the Miami Marlins for the rubber match of their three-game set on Wednesday. New York had its franchise record-tying 11-game winning streak halted by its crosstown rival on Friday and went on to drop two of three at Yankee Stadium before Daniel Murphy's three-run homer in the ninth inning on Monday gave it a 3-1 series-opening victory. The Mets received another big late hit Tuesday as Juan Lagares delivered a three-run double in the seventh to forge a tie, but reliever Carlos Torres - Monday's winner - yielded a run in the eighth and the club went on to drop a 4-3 decision. The loss was the first in six games against Miami this season for New York, which fell to 5-6 on the road. Michael Morse delivered the tiebreaking hit for the Marlins, who posted their sixth victory in seven contests. Dee Gordon collected two of Miami's six hits for the second consecutive night following an 8-for-13 performance during a three-game sweep of Washington last weekend. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), FSN Florida (Miami) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Bartolo Colon (4-0, 2.77 ERA) vs. Marlins RH Mat Latos (0-3, 7.31) Colon's superb start to the season continued Thursday as he improved to 4-0 by allowing three runs over six innings in a triumph over Atlanta. The 41-year-old Dominican has displayed pinpoint control thus far, issuing just one walk while recording 23 strikeouts in 26 frames. Colon has fared well against Miami in his career, going 4-2 with a 3.10 ERA in six starts. Latos has deserved a better fate over the first four starts of his initial campaign with Miami, as he has allowed two earned runs in three straight outings after being tagged for seven while retiring only two batters in his season debut. The 27-year-old Virginia native suffered the loss in two of those contests before settling for a no-decision in a 6 1/3-inning performance against Washington. Latos has posted an impressive 2.63 ERA in nine career starts against New York but owns just a 2-4 record. WALK-OFFS: 1. Lagares has hit safely in 14 of his last 15 contests. 2. New York optioned INF Danny Muno to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday to make room for RHP Rafael Montero, who allowed three runs over 5 2/3 innings in his first start of the season. 3. Murphy, who went 3-for-4 on Tuesday, is 6-for-17 (.353) lifetime against Latos.

Past Met teams would not have plated that run. Very good job. Lead off double for Granderson, Lags moves him over with a great at bat, and Duda hits a grounder into the shift, Grandy scores. 3-2 Mets.

What the hell did Murphy just do... I was distracted and missed it.

Zvon Apr 29 2015 06:48 PM Re: IGT 04/29 - Mets at Marlins

Muffy....well, nice try I guess. Great back up by Colon or there'd be a guy on 2nd. Went deep into the hole spun, threw wild. Looks like a good throw would not have gotten the runner anyway.

Edgy MD Apr 29 2015 06:56 PM Re: IGT 04/29 - Mets at Marlins

Well, he's not particularly good anymore. I'm kind of pleased that he's a Marlin. Still gets down that line though. The Mets could have used him pinch-running for Murphy last night. And hey, I got the video working.

Six-pitch inning. Even giving up three runs, the guy's a walking miracle.

Kusokurae Ichiro!

Edgy MD Apr 29 2015 07:06 PM Re: IGT 04/29 - Mets at Marlins

The guy may look about as bad as anybody I've ever seen at the plate (and we've all seen Al Leiter), but I'd be pretty proud to foul off 98 miles per hour swinging with one hand.

Robles vs. Stanton. History in the making as the slugger faces the rook. Is he a rook? I don't even know.

I wonder about using Mayberry here to pinch hit for Murphy.

Frayed Knot Apr 29 2015 07:34 PM Re: IGT 04/29 - Mets at Marlins

What does that make us now on challenges at 1B this year, like 1 for 28 or something?

Frayed Knot Apr 29 2015 07:40 PM Re: IGT 04/29 - Mets at Marlins

How many more piece-of-shit hits are these guys going to get tonight? Between these swinging bunts and the ones just sneaking inside the lines (or not) it's getting frickin' annoying. Oh, and I forgot Stanton's off the end of the bat spinner that went against the shift for an RBI.

Got to play in against Itchy. It's not like you can double him up.

I don't see a comeback here tonight. Go ahead, surprise me again. Prove me wrong you crazy go nuts 2015 NY Mets.

Edgy MD Apr 29 2015 08:01 PM Re: IGT 04/29 - Mets at Marlins

OK, that's 6.25% of our comeback. Or 14.3%, by another measure.

Edgy MD Apr 29 2015 08:03 PM Re: IGT 04/29 - Mets at Marlins

And that knocks it back down to 0%

Edgy MD Apr 29 2015 08:04 PM Re: IGT 04/29 - Mets at Marlins

Back up to 14.3%

Kirk needs to shave that shit. He doesn't deserve a gigantic beard.

Zvon Apr 29 2015 08:12 PM Re: IGT 04/29 - Mets at Marlins

Gotta win these kinda series if you wanna continue to compete. This next series vs. the Nats could either pump us up again, or burst our bubble.

Mets Guy in Michigan Apr 29 2015 08:23 PM Re: IGT 04/29 - Mets at Marlins

We seem to be reverting to the same old Mets.

Ceetar Apr 29 2015 08:29 PM Re: IGT 04/29 - Mets at Marlins

bad breaks all around here. One of those games where their hits find holds and your blasts find gloves. whatever, kill the Nats. Really starting to miss d'Arnaud and Wright though. And a SS who could get on base would be nice too. Flores down to a .296 OBP.

I once pretended to like Ichiro in order to be polite to three teenage girls on a bus in Kyoto. (They were aghast when I told them I didn't like the New York Yankees, and I felt like I needed to find some common ground. This was when Ichiro was still a Seattle Mariner.)

Edgy MD Apr 30 2015 07:18 AM Re: IGT 04/29 - Mets at Marlins

Men. If there's anything we have in common it's that we'll all say any bullshit we have to in order to be popular with the teenager girls of Kyoto.
