Marlins rally past Mets 11-8 as Norby fuels late surge; Soto homers twice but comes up short
The Miami Marlins staged a dramatic comeback, erasing a six-run deficit to topple the New York Mets 11-8. Connor Norby supplied three RBIs in the final three innings to spark the rally, while Francisco Lindor opened the Mets’ scoring with a leadoff homer.
New York looked poised for a big win after taking an early lead, but All-Star left-hander David Peterson was tagged for a career-high eight runs in just over two innings as the Mets slipped behind 8-2 by the third inning. Mark Vientos added a three-run homer for New York, and Juan Soto went deep twice for the Mets, including a solo shot and a two-run drive that tied the game at 8 in the sixth.
Soto’s multi-homer performance kept New York within striking distance, but Miami answered back. Norby’s three RBIs in the late frames pushed the Marlins ahead and sealed the comeback victory.
Summary: The Marlins overcame a sizable deficit with a late offensive burst led by Norby, while Soto carried the Mets with two homers, though New York could not sustain the rally after Peterson’s rough start. Lindor also contributed a leadoff homer for the Mets in the losing effort.
What this means: The game showcased the Mets’ potential power from Soto and Lindor, but also underscored durability concerns in Peterson’s start. Miami’s turnaround effort demonstrates their resilience and depth to rally from a six-run hole.
