Nick Fortes

Nick Fortes delivered a clutch two-run single in the bottom of the eighth inning to lift the Marlins past the Mets, 5-4. The go-ahead hit came off Mets reliever Edwin Diaz, capping a late rally that saw Miami erase a one-run deficit. Fortes, who had entered the game as a pinch-runner, made the most of his opportunity and drove in the go-ahead runs with a sharp single to left field. The Marlins bullpen held on to secure the win, improving Miami's record in close games.
