Mets Lose to the Miami Marlins 6-4

Maybe I should stop going to Citifield as almost every time I have been there this season they have lost. We usually go on Sunday afternoons when they usually lose. There was no exception this afternoon as they lost 6-4. The highlight of the game was a three-run homer by Giancarlo Stanton that increased his major league total to 45. The Mets ace pitcher Jacob de Grom was the loser. A Yoenis Cespedes home run in the first inning and a three-run rally in the 8th inning were not enough.
