Aug 29, 2025; New York City, New York, USA; New York Mets left fielder Brandon Nimmo (9) hits a three run home run during the first inning against the Miami Marlins at Citi Field. Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Jonah Tong tossed five solid innings and earned the win in his major league debut Friday night, when the New York Mets provided him a historic burst of run support in a 19-9 rout of the visiting Miami Marlins.
The 19 runs scored are a club record in a home game for the Mets, whose 12 runs in the first two innings were also the most in team history. New York has split the first two games of the four-game set to improve to 9-4 since Aug. 16.
The Marlins fell to 8-17 since Aug. 4.
Tong, who earned the promotion by posting a 1.43 ERA in 22 minor league starts this season, needed just six pitches in a 1-2-3 first before the Mets scored five times in the bottom half against Eury Perez (6-4), who gave up a two-run homer to Juan Soto and a three-run blast to Brandon Nimmo before exiting after only two outs.
The Mets scored seven times in the second — all after Tyler Zuber recorded the first two outs. Pete Alonso hit a two-run homer and Starling Marte had an RBI single before Tyrone Taylor and Francisco Lindor added two-run doubles.
Nimmo homered again in the sixth and the Mets scored six runs against infielder Javier Sanoja in the eighth, when Taylor sandwiched another two-run double between Mark Vientos’ solo homer and Luis Torrens’ three-run shot.
Tong gave up four runs (one earned) on six hits and no walks while striking out six. All four runs scored following a pair of Mets errors in the fifth, when Eric Wagaman had an RBI single and scored on Alonso’s miscue before Otto Lopez laced a two-run single.
Joey Wiemer lofted a sacrifice fly in the eighth before the Marlins added four runs in the ninth against Torrens, who gave up Lopez’s two-run homer, Liam Hicks’ solo round-tripper and Troy Johnston’s RBI triple. Ryne Stanek got the final two outs.
Perez gave up five runs on three hits and two walks while throwing 39 pitches.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling reveals why he chose to sign with 49ers over reuniting with Aaron Rodgers on Steelers
Marquez Valdes-Scantling has confirmed prior reports that he could have signed with either the Steelers or the 49ers after he didn't make the Seahawks' initial 53-man roster. The 30-year-old wideout ultimately chose to join the 49ers' practice squad instead of going to Pittsburgh, where he would have reunited with his former Packers teammate, Aaron Rodgers. Valdes-Scantling said his decision to go to San Francisco wasn't personal. It was just business. "Obviously, I have a good relationship with Aaron Rodgers over there, and he wanted me back over there," Valdes-Scantling said. "So, it was a toss-up, 50/50. I had to weigh my options and see which one I wanted to do, which was going to be better for my career at this point, and I was excited about it."Specifically, the 49ers' offensive system and current situation at receiver outweighed the opportunity to reunite […]
WATCH: Miami’s CJ Daniels makes insane one-handed catch to turn potential Carson Beck interception into score
ESPN We have an early contender for college football's best catch of the 2025 season. The jaw-dropping grab was courtesy of Miami Hurricanes wideout CJ Daniels, whose one-handed, 20-yard touchdown reception gave Miami a 14-7 halftime lead over Notre Dame. The score was tied before Daniels made an incredible play on a pass that could have been picked off by Notre Dame safety Adon Shuler. But instead of a big play for the Irish, it was a momentum-changing touchdown for Daniels, a well-traveled senior who spent his first four seasons in college at Liberty before playing for LSU last fall. The score also featured a gusty throw from Miami quarterback Carson Beck, who was under heavy duress before heaving his pass toward the end zone. Beck, who spent his first four seasons at Georgia, opened his Miami career with a pair of […]
