Christian Yelich shined for the Marlins in their 6-4 victory, which allowed Miami to avoid a four-game sweep.

Collins went on to say that the Mets have tried their best to protect those young arms. “Was big for us to win this last one here”. With a comfortable 8 1/2-game lead in the AL West, Texas sends A.J. Griffin (6-3, 4.39 ERA) to the mound against Doug Fister (12-9, 3.60 ERA).
Yelich homered and singled twice, drove in four runs and stole two bases.
– The Braves have scored seven or more runs in five consecutive home games for the first time since August 7-10, 1953, in the franchise’s first year in Milwaukee. The Marlins won 6-4.
“I wasn’t really that anxious about it”, deGrom said of the MRI, according to Newsday’s Laura Albanese. “He’s not going to keep struggling the way he was struggling”.
There was a lot of mystery surrounding the health of Mets’ right-hander Jacob deGrom Friday afternoon at Citi Field, and many feared the worst, but it appears things are relatively OK for now.
His defense was pretty good, albeit imperfect, on Thursday.
After making his most recent start on eight days rest last night against the Miami Marlins, the New York Mets announced that Jacob deGrom will miss at least his next scheduled start due to forearm soreness. It’s insane. I have no idea what is happening with deGrom, but this doesn’t sound good.
Montero had a spot start for deGrom on Monday against the Marlins and tossed five scoreless innings, although Montero also walked six batters and threw 100 pitches. “As I told you guys last night, I thought I was fine, and I think I am”, he said. “They’re not going to roll up”.
The Mets fell two games behind idle St. Louis for the second wild-card spot, with the Marlins another game back. NY has won nine of its last 12 games.
Mets: Cespedes and Cabrera didn’t start after it rained most of the afternoon. After Terry Collins took him out, deGrom called for the Mets trainer to join him in the clubhouse.
If nothing’s physically wrong with deGrom then it’s up to him to put the mental aspect of his game back together and he’ll have to do it sooner than later. “I’ve got to figure that out”. That brought Michael Conforto to the plate as the tying run, but he grounded back to the pitcher for a 1-2-3 double play.
