In a captivating extra-inning matchup, the Mets edged the Marlins 6-5, but the narrative extended beyond the scoreline. A pivotal moment came from Pete Alonso's game-tying home run in the eighth inning, which rejuvenated the Mets. Earlier, Marlins pitcher Anthony Veneziano effectively neutralized top hitters Juan Soto and Alonso in a critical sixth-inning performance, showcasing a pre-planned strategy. His execution, complemented by a remarkable defensive play from Xavier Edwards, highlights the meticulous preparation teams invest in during games.
"I knew that was gonna be my pocket. You see a guy like Soto coming up and you know what he can do, what Pete can do, what Nimmo can do. I've got to go in there and execute."
"You look at some other teams and how their pitchers and hitters match up, we have the luxury of playing to that in a strategic way."
