Post Game: Mets 4, Marlins 3

On a cold Friday night at Citi Field, the Mets (13-10) defeated the Marlins (10-13) by the score of 4-3. The Mets won on walk off fashion.

Curtis Granderson had his second walk off RBI of the season, and the home stand, when he lined the ball past first baseman Garett Jones. Good for Granderson, who still continues to slump, but has had a few big singles in the last few games. Curtis is working through it, but he's finally smiling again.

Zack Wheeler ran his pitch count up early, as he often does, and couldn't go seven innings on a night when the Mets needed length from their starting pitching. Wheeler did however continue the Mets' strong starting pitching in the early part of this season.

Gonzalez German served up two home run to Marlins' catcher Jarred Saltalamacia and first basemen Garett Jones. The Mets have taxed their bullpen on this home stand, and German seemed to take the brunt of it.

Omar Quintanilla not to get lost in the walk off win is Omar Quintanilla who had a game-tying base hit off Steve Cisek in the bottom of the ninth. Kirk Nieuwenhuis then doubled to keep the rally alive, setting up the game winner from Granderson.

Next up, the Mets continue their three game series against the Marlins on Saturday night at 7:10 PM with Jenrry Mejia on the hill.
