Rookie A.J. Ewing’s 3 hits, 3 RBI lifts Mets to 9-4 win over Marlins

On Monday, rookie A.J. Ewing contributed significantly to the New York Mets' victory over the Miami Marlins, batting three times and driving in three runs. The game became a contest for the ages when the score was tied 4-4 in the fourth inning. Bo Bichette broke the tie with a go-ahead RBI single, and Ewing capitalized on the opportunity, doubling in two more runs to give the Mets a 7-4 lead.

Marcus Semien added to the Mets' momentum with two doubles and an RBI, while Bichette proved his worth once again, this time hitting twice and driving in a run. The Mets' pitching staff, led by rookie Jonah Tong, solidified the win with a complete game effort. Tong struck out the first four batters he faced and finished with seven strikeouts in five innings.

Despite Pérez's early struggles, the Mets' bullpen stepped up, with four relievers each throwing an inning to complete the six-hitter. The Marlins' offense was unable to capitalize on Pérez's poor outing, as Graham Pauley's three-run homer in the second inning gave Miami a 4-3 lead. Despite Sanoja's RBI triple and Alvarez's RBI single, the Mets managed to hold on and secure their 9-4 win.
