Left fielder Mark Canha had three hits and scored two runs, hitting a home run in the seventh inning. Alonso and catcher Omar Narvaez each had two hits in the win as well, while starting pitcher Tylor Megill threw five innings of two-run ball. The Mets finished the 2022 season ranked second in the majors in batting average (.259) and are facing a Miami pitching staff that was No. 7 (3.57). Rookie right-handed pitcher Kodai Senga is going to start for New York on Sunday afternoon. The 30-year-old signed a 5-year, $75 million contract in December after going 11-6 with a 1.94 ERA in 144 innings for the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks in the Nippon Professional Baseball league.
