Melendez breaks slump with walk-off HR vs Marlins
Mets outfielder MJ Melendez snapped a deep cold stretch with a decisive 10th-inning blast, giving New York a 9-7 win over Miami.
Melendez entered Friday's game against the Marlins mired in a significant slump, with just one hit in his last 18 at-bats and a .111 average in May. He delivered a two-run walk-off home run in the 10th inning to lift the Mets to a 9-7 victory. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised Melendez's continued work ethic through the difficult stretch. The performance may signal a turning point for the struggling outfielder.
