The Miami Marlins are proving that their Tournament run isn’t a fluke. Entering the Tournament as the last-place seed in the National League, other teams have counted them out every step of the way. But they keep on winning. Carlos Delgado’s 2-run single put Miami up 2-0 before they had recorded their 1st out. By the end of the inning, the Marlins were up 4-0 against Jerry Koosman and the New York Mets. The Mets didn’t make it easy though. They chipped away at the lead, led by Mike Piazza’s two home runs. Josh Johnson left with a slim 6-5 lead in the 8th, but José Reyes hit a game-tying homer off Robb Nen. In the 9th, Gary Sheffield took Tug McGraw deep to put the Marlins back on top. Armando Benítez had a shaky 9th, but struck out Carlos Beltrán to pick up his 3rd save in as many games. The 7-6 victory makes Miami one of the final four Winner’s Bracket teams. The Mets will get a day off before facing their first test in the Loser’s Bracket.
