Mets Shut Out Marlins, Severino Shines

Luis Severino delivered a complete-game shutout for the New York Mets in a 4-0 win over the Miami Marlins, marking his first shutout since 2018. Despite a shaky performance in his previous three starts, Severino struck out eight batters, allowed four hits, and walked one. Manager Carlos Mendoza initially hesitated to let Severino pitch the ninth inning but relented after a conversation in which Severino assured him he felt strong. The Mets, bolstered by home runs from Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso, secured their second straight win and moved closer to a wild-card spot. Mendoza emphasized the importance of Severino's health and performance as the Mets push for a playoff berth. Severino's 113-pitch effort was the most he has thrown since 2018, highlighting his resurgence this season.
