Edward Cabrera shut down the Mets in key moments, reflecting how Miami’s pitching limited Buenos results while the Mets’ offense failed to capitalize, underscoring the challenge of breaking through dominant pitching in tight games.

Cabrera delivered five shutout innings, anchoring Miami’s win and highlighting his potential as a reliable top-to-middle-rotation arm.

Cabrera faces Alonso in a high‐stakes context; Cabrera has given up power to right‐handers this season, creating a favorable stage for Alonso’s 1.5 bases target. Cabrera’s command struggles could amplify Alonso’s upside.

Cabrera (7-7, 3.66) starts for the Marlins in the final-day duel with Manaea. His performance could tilt the final NL wild-card picture, influencing whether Miami stays alive or fades as the Mets and Reds battle for the last spot.
