Published Thu, 14 Nov 2024 14:17:48 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — No matter the field conditions, the New York Mets have dampened Miami’s playoff chances all season.Pete Alonso was 4 for 4 with a homer, Francisco Lindor also went deep and drove in four runs, and the Mets pounded the Marlins 11-2 in the first game of a doubleheader Wednesday.Braxton Garrett (9-7) was tagged early in a costly defeat for the Marlins, who began the day a half-game behind the Cubs for the final National League wild card. Chicago played later at NL East champion Atlanta.The game was a makeup after the series opener was postponed Tuesday night because of unplayable field conditions. The infield at Citi Field wasn’t covered with a tarp for at least some portion of last weekend, when rain from Tropical Storm Ophelia began pelting New York City for four straight days. The tarp was on the field Tuesday, but when showers finally subsided in the late afternoon and the tarp was removed, the messy field was too soggy to play. That forced a doubleheader Wedn...

DETROIT (AP) — Miguel Cabrera hit his 511th home run to help the Detroit Tigers take a 4-0 lead in a game that was suspended by rain after four innings on Wednesday night.Cabrera, who is retiring after the season ends this week, tied Mel Ott for 25th place all-time. It was Cabrera’s 378th homer for Detroit, tying Norm Cash for second place in franchise history behind Al Kaline’s 399.The game, which was delayed for 80 minutes, will be resumed Thursday afternoon at 1 p.m. before the scheduled series finale.Edward Olivares doubled to start the second, but Skubal struck out the next two batters and escaped the inning. The offense quickly rewarded him, as Cabrera led off the bottom of the inning with a line drive that would have hit the out-of-town scoreboard before this season’s renovations lowered the fence in right-centerfield.Cabrera singled in the fourth – his 3,170th hit – took second on Andy Ibanez’s double, and scored on Tyler Nevin’s pinch-hit three-run homer.Most of...
