New York Mets vs Miami Marlins Box Score on Jul 30, 2022

New York Mets right-hander Carlos Carrasco pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings and won his 100th career game Saturday night, defeating the host Miami Marlins 4-0.

Francisco Lindor slugged his 17th homer of the season -- his sixth against Miami -- as New York won its fifth straight game.

Lindor drove in half of New York's runs. The other runs came on solo homers by Jeff McNeil and J.D. Davis.

Carrasco (11-4) allowed four hits and two walks, striking out seven and getting two double-play grounders. For his career, he is 100-82. His 11 wins this season are one more than he had in his three previous seasons combined.

Miami's Nick Neidert (0-1), recalled from Triple-A to make his first start of the season, took the loss. He allowed five hits, no walks and two runs in five innings.

Marlins third baseman Charles Leblanc made his major league debut, going 1-for-3 with a double and two strikeouts.

Leblanc also made a diving stop to throw Tomas Nido out at first. However, Nido picked Leblanc off at second base in the eighth inning.

New York opened the scoring in the third as McNeil lofted his homer, a 384-foot drive just over the fence in right. When McNeil returned to the dugout, his teammates pelted him with seeds.

The rally continued with singles by Nido and Brandon Nimmo. Then with two outs, Lindor, swinging from the left side, hit away from the shift, grounding an RBI single through the hole at shortstop.

In the fourth, New York's Eduardo Escobar pulled a two-out double. But Marlins second baseman Joey Wendle's diving backhand stop on a McNeil smash saved a run. First baseman Lewin Diaz scooped the short-hop throw to end the inning.

Escobar nearly had a three-run homer in the sixth, but his drive was caught on the warning track by center fielder JJ Bleday.

The Mets locked down the victory in the eighth as Lindor's solo homer went 424 feet to right, and Davis' blast two batters later went 444 feet to center.
