The Mets dropped Sunday’s game against the Marlins 3-2, but took the weekend series 2-1, keeping them two-games behind the second-place Atlanta Braves in the hotly-contested National League East. New York is still nine games behind the first-place Phillies in the division, but they lead the pack for teams on the Wild Card bubble with about a month and a half left in the season.
Francisco Lindor had an RBI single and Brandon Nimmo had a solo home run for the only Mets runs of the night. Nimmo later left the game with a shoulder injury after making an outstanding rolling catch, but landing hard in the process.
Now the Mets face down one of the top teams in the MLB. The Orioles have jockeyed with the Yankees for first place in the AL East most of the season, and are currently 73-52 and tied for the spot. With a .584 record, they are tied for second place across the MLB with the Yankees and the Dodgers.
