NEW YORK (AP) --- Michael Petersen worked out of a bases-loaded jam with no
outs in the seventh inning as the Miami Marlins beat the Mets 2-0 Sunday
shortly after New York traded opening day starter Freddy Peralta to Tampa Bay.
Joe Mack homered, Xavier Edwards added an RBI single and Sandy Alcantara tossed
six-plus solid innings for the Marlins, who won the final three games of the
four-game series. Miami slugged six homers in the series, while the Mets went
deep twice.
Alcantara (12-6) allowed four hits, including Luis Robert Jr.'s single and
Jared Young's double to open the seventh, and struck out five.
Petersen walked Marcus Semien before striking out Jorge Polanco and Francisco
Alvarez and coaxed A.J. Ewing into a ground out to second.
Pete Fairbanks worked around a pair of walks in the ninth and earned his 17th
save for the Marlins, who entered Sunday 1 1/2 games behind Philadelphia for
the final National League playoff spot.
Mets relievers Brooks Raley, Luke Weaver and Huascar Brazobn each threw a
hitless inning after spot starter Robert Stock (0-1) went a career-high five
innings.
Stock, making his first big league appearance since June 8, 2025 and just the
third start of his career, allowed three hits, including Mack's homer, and
struck out four. The right-hander made his big league debut in 2018 as a
reliever for interim Mets manager Andy Green in San Diego.
Up next
Marlins have not announced a starter for Tuesday's home series opener against

series at Cleveland against Guardians LHP Joey Cantillo (8-6, 3.88).
