Post Game Recap
The New York Mets road trip struggles continued again
Tuesday night against the Miami Marlins, as they were shut out 3-0. It is the
second consecutive loss for the Mets in Miami ,
who have lost five of their last six games since opening the road trip with a
victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. This was only the fifth time all season
that the Mets did not hold a lead at some point in the game. With the loss the
Mets fall back to .500 with a record of 16-16. The Marlins run their record to
18-15, with a dominating home record of 16-5.
Tonight the Mets were shutdown by Henderson Alvarez. Alvarez
went the distance, tossing a complete game shutout. The Mets did not mount much
of a threat offensively all evening, managing only six hits. Alvarez struck out
seven over his nine innings as well. Alvarez is the first Marlin since
Dontrelle Willis on July 3rd,
2005 to shut out the Mets.
