MLB: Miami Marlins at New York Mets
NEW YORK (AP) — J.D. Davis homered and drove in a career-high four runs, Pete Alonso and Michael Conforto also connected, and the New York Mets finally slowed down the makeshift Miami Marlins with an 8-4 victory Saturday night. Rookie left-hander David Peterson allowed two runs over five innings to win his first home start for the Mets. Davis hit a three-run shot and a sacrifice fly as New York won for only the third time in 10 games. Conforto and Alonso each ripped an early two-run homer off Daniel Castano, the latest starter to make his major league debut for the depleted Marlins. Despite a coronavirus outbreak that ravaged the roster, Miami had won six in a row.
