The New York Mets lost 6-2 to the Miami Marlins on August 1 at Citi Field. Starting pitcher Zac Thornton had a difficult outing, allowing a combined five runs before exiting in the fifth inning. Tyrone Taylor's two-run homer temporarily brought the Mets closer, but the offense struggled overall, going 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position and leaving ten men on base.
