the catcher rookie Nick Fortes hit a walk-off home run (first of his career) against veteran right-handed reliever Adam Ottavino in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Miami Marlins a scream victory by a 3-2 scoreline over the New York Mets on Sunday afternoon at loanDepot Park.
A play after second baseman Luis Guillorme stole a hit from fellow Venezuelan Jesús Aguilar, Fortes he lit a slider on a count of 0-1 already with two outs on the board. The final victory closed a streak of seven games in a span of 10 days between these clubs, with Miami winning two of seven:
Nicholas Fortes, 25 years old and 1.80 meters tall, was 0-3 with a strikeout and a left on base, so he came with the label of ‘getting the thorn out’ to that final key turn in which he left watered in the field to the Metropolitans, leaders of the East of the National.

It should be noted that Fortes, who just debuted in GL on September 18, can be said to have “been a prophet in his land”, since he is a native of DeLand, Florida, very close to Miami Beach, so he is a home boy. On the season he is batting .289 with three home runs and seven RBIs in 13 games and 38 at-bats.
