Cal Quantrill crushed by Mets in Marlins debut

The Miami Marlins’ Cinderella magic ran out as soon as the New York Mets came to town.

Peter Alonso hit a grand slam in the fourth inning to lead the Mets to a 10-4 win over the Marlins on Monday.

The Marlins struck first on a solo home run by second baseman Otto Lopez. He hit six homers last year in his first full season as a big leaguer.

The Mets found themselves on the board on a solo home run by Starling Marte to tie the game 1-1, in the third inning.

The Mets then exploded with seven runs in the fourth inning to take full control of the game. Jose Siri started the scoring with an RBI double to take a 2-1 lead. After Alonso’s blast extended the lead to five runs, Luis Torrens hit a two-run home run of his own to push the Mets’ lead to 8-1.

The Mets added two more runs in the sixth inning on a two-run homer by Brandon Nimmo.

Eric Wagaman hit his first home run of the season in the bottom half of the inning to make it a 10-2 game. He signed with the Marlins as a free agent after making his big league debut with the Los Angeles Angels last year.

The Marlins remain a threat in the ninth inning. Lopez and Wagaman each drove home a run on a two-out single before Hill struck out to end the game.

Cal Quantrill takes a loss in his Marlins debut, as he lasted four innings after giving up six runs on eight hits with two strikeouts.

David Peterson struck out nine batters in six innings for the Mets, with the only runs to his name were the solo homers.

Sandy Alcantara will return to the mound for the Marlins on Tuesday, while the Mets counter with Kodai Senga.
