 The New York Mets beat the Miami Marlins 11-3 tonight at LoanDepot Park and improved their record to 88-52.

The bats wasted a based loaded scoring opportunity in the top of the first, but broke through in the top of the third after SS Francisco Lindor doubled with one out and then 2B Jeff McNeil followed with a RBI single.

In the top of the fourth, LF Mark Canha led off with a walk and then DH Daniel Vogelbach followed with a single.

3B Eduardo Escobar then hit a RBI double and catcher James McCann followed with a RBI single.

CF Brandon Nimmo came up next and walked and Lindor followed with a RBI single.

McNeil then drove in McCann with a sacrifice fly and two batters later RF Tyler Naquin walked.

Canha came up next with the based loaded and broke the game open with a grand slam to cap off an eight run inning. 

In the top of the fifth, Lindor came through with a RBI single.

After a scoreless top of the sixth, Escobar came up in the top of the seventh and continued his torrid stretch with a solo homer.

LHP Carlos Carrasco had a terrific start allowing one run on four hits in six innings.

He did not give up any walks and had six strikeouts.

Carrasco was in complete command from the beginning and at one point retired 11 hitters in a row.

He looked a lot better than in his previous start coming off the IL 

Carrasco picked up his 14th win which is the first time he has reached that milestone since 2018.

RHP Bryce Montes de Oca followed and gave up a run on three hits in the bottom of the seventh.

RHP Trevor Williams came in next in the bottom of the eighth and gave up a run on a wild pitch.

LHP Alex Claudio closed it out with a scoreless inning in the bottom of the ninth.

The Mets next game is tomorrow afternoon, Sunday, September 11 at the Marlins at 1:40 p.m.
