Mets offense secures series win against Marlins with early run support

The New York Mets offense continued a recent high-scoring stretch by jumping on Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara early in Tuesday's game. Francisco Lindor ignited the scoring with a leadoff home run in the first inning, followed by contributions from Jared Young, Juan Soto, and Brett Baty. Alcantara was chased from the game after 4.1 innings, having surrendered seven runs on seven hits and four walks. While the Marlins bullpen limited the Mets' offense for the remainder of the contest, the New York relief corps preserved the lead to secure a series victory. The Mets have now scored seven or more runs in four of their five wins this month. New York looks to complete a series sweep on Wednesday against Janson Junk.
