One day after the Mets beat the Marlins in 16 innings, Realmuto made sure another marathon wasn't needed.
His second hit, now that was something smashing.
In the bottom of the first inning, Inciarte kicked things off again with the Braves' first hit in the new park, a leadoff single on a 1-2 count from San Diego right-hander Jhoulys Chacin.
Rizzo's drive to right field in the first inning opened the scoring and sent a fan's beer all over the bleachers.
"It was an incredible feeling", Riddle said. "Obviously this one took a little bit longer than we would have liked, but at the end of the night we came out with a win, so that's all you can ask for".
Riddle connected off Addison Reed (0-1) right after the Mets made a flawless relay to prevent the winning run from scoring.
The Marlins also showed off their defense.
New York OF Jay Bruce, who did not play Saturday, has reached base in 19 consecutive games dating back to September 24, 2016, and is hitting.362 in that span with eight homers and 16 RBIs.
Marcell Ozuna connected on his fifth homer earlier Saturday to push his major-league leading RBI total to 17, and the Marlins finished with four homers as Justin Bour also went deep. Flores slammed his batting helmet into his leg while Ozuna flashed a big smile. But with two outs in the eighth, Neil Walker hit a 2-0 pitch from reliever Brad Ziegler for a clean single to center. RHP Edison Volquez (0-1, 3.27) will take Conley's place and start on regular rest.
"This was a odd series", second baseman Neil Walker said. "It's fun to be up here".
Travis d'Arnaud blasted a solo home run in the 16th to see the Mets eventually overcome the Marlins 9-8.
Police urge man who livestreamed homicide to turn himself in
Almost five hours after the shooting, Williams said authorities hadn't had a report of a sighting of Stephens, CNN reported . Cleveland Police are seeking a suspect who posted video of a homicide on Facebook, authorities said.
So Terry Collins, having properly called upon his closer to pitch the ninth inning of a tie game on the road and seeing it not work, downshifted to cheerleader mode.
Christian Yelich gave Giancarlo Stanton a playful punch in the arm as they passed each other in the dugout during a comeback celebration, not almost their hardest hit of the inning. But the Marlins pulled out a dramatic victory when the rookie Riddle homered off Addison Reed with a man aboard in the ninth. Ozuna doubled to left-center to score Yelich, but Bour was thrown out at the plate when he missed the bag. Riddle followed with his homer.
"That's what we were supposed to do last night", Rojas said.
Matched against Harvey, Straily was effectively wild in keeping the Mets off-balance.
New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard was forced to leave Friday's start against the Miami Marlins after tearing his fingernail back.
Marlins RHP Nick Wittgren was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans after pitching three scoreless innings so that a fresh pitcher can be recalled. "We played good baseball, all of our starting pitchers did a good job and that's the game".
The worst play of the game also came from the Marlins as Justin Bour beats a throw home but missed home plate on his awful slide.
Mets starter Matt Harvey allowed one earned run in six innings. "I didn't think they were going to get to it".
Dee Gordon went 3 for 4 with a run scored to finish the homestand 13 for 30 (.433 average) with five runs over the last six games.
You want to get concerned? Cincinnati had scored at least six runs in each game during its winning streak.
"I guess I kept my fingernails too short", he said. "It's been a fun four days getting back to my routine and I've been able to play defense and offense and not worry about running the bases. I think he'll be OK". Michael Wacha (1-0, 1.50 ERA) takes on Masahiro Tanaka (0-1,11.74) to begin the three-game series. Harvey has pitched well in his two starts this season but after exiting his last game due to a hamstring injury, perhaps he's due for a clunker. Miami's Ichiro Suzuki returns to Seattle where he was a 10-time All-Star in 12 seasons.
