Christian Scott, previously 0-for-15 in attempts to earn a favorable outcome, became a major league winner during a Saturday afternoon game at Citi Field. Hayden Senger returned as a major league slugger, while Bobby Valentine and Lee Mazzilli were certified New York Mets Hall of Famers. The Mets had snapped a dozen-game losing streak but had mostly oscillated between lost and found, including a 5-1 homestand followed by a 2-5 road trip and two additional losses on return. The 6-1 victory over the Marlins was decisive without being a blowout or never-in-doubt, and it left the impression the game could not easily slip away. Scott’s early-inning dominance was paired with an offense marked by too many bunts and boos, followed by a four-inning breakthrough with a 3-0 lead after the bottom of the fourth. Scott then focused on getting three outs without allowing three runs, after already recording 8 strikeouts, and required 22 additional pitches on top of 74 already thrown.
