Christopher Morel sparks Mets to 15-14 win over Marlins

The New York Mets defeated the Miami Marlins 15-14 on Wednesday, completing a three-game sweep. Christopher Morel entered the game in the second inning as a replacement for Brett Baty, who exited with knee pain. Morel went 3-for-4 with three RBIs, including his first home run as a Met. New York initially built an 8-0 lead, saw the Marlins tie the game at 8-8, and eventually secured the narrow victory. Interim manager Andy Green credited Morel’s performance off the bench as a deciding factor in the outcome. Since his July signing and subsequent recall, Morel has maintained a.300 batting average over 10 games. The team remains uncertain regarding the availability of Baty and Jared Young, who is dealing with a sore foot.
