Brandon Nimmo broke a seventh-inning tie with a two-run double, sending Max Scherzer and the New York Mets past the Miami Marlins 5-3 on Thursday.Scherzer (1-0) coughed up a three-run lead but threw six solid innings in a matchup with NL Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcantara as the Mets improved to 41-21 on opening day - the best record in baseball.

The lineups are out for tonight's game between the Atlanta Braves and the Miami Marlins, and Braves fans were treated to some very good news when they took a look at the top of the order.Instead of seeing a replacement, we got to see a very familiar place in his customary spot as the leadoff hitter.

After three consecutive one-run victories, the Marlins looked to conclude the month of April with their first sweep of the season as they wrapped up their series against the Cubs.As it played out, the baseball gods would have it that Miami's run one-run wins would continue, playing out in a 4-3 Marlins win to secure their first series sweep of 2023.

The Atlanta Braves carried a four-run lead into the ninth only to watch the bullpen give it away in a 5-4 loss to the Miami Marlins.Kyle Wright allowed the leadoff man to reach in each of the first three innings, but he was able to keep them stranded.Garrett Hampson led off the third with a single to center and moved up to second on a wild pitch.

Garrett Cooper came through with a two-out, two-run double that capped a stunning five-run ninth inning by the Miami Marlins, who avoided a sweep with a 5-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves in a game delayed more than three hours Thursday by inclement weather.Kyle Wright and four relievers held Miami scoreless until the ninth, but the Marlins overcame a 4-0 deficit against Braves closer A.J. Minter.

The following pitchers are scheduled to throw live batting practice at Marlins camp today: Enrique Burgos, Edward Cabrera, Enmanuel De Jesús, Robert García, Chi Chi González, Sean Reynolds and Jefry Yan.

Garrett Cooper earned an All-Star selection in 2022, but it would be a stretch to say that the Miami Marlins have definitively found their guy at first base.Cooper was extremely hot at the plate in the first half of the season, specifically in June when he hit .378.His overall batting average was right around .300 in early July at the time of his selection to the National League All-Star roster as an injury replacement.

[For those unaware, the title is in reference to the NHL, where both teams get a point in the standings when tied after regulation.]Usually, when writing game recaps, there is a winner and a loser, and the tone of the writing gets based on which one the Marlins were.But this is Spring Training.Games can end in ties in Spring Training.

For tonight, at least, Bryce Elder did not keep getting away with this.The right-hander, who had yielded zero homers through his first four starts of the year, yielded three in one game.With reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Sandy Alcantara on the hill for the visitors, it seemed like it was going to be one of those games for the Braves.

The cost? 1 year, $10 million.Hmmm.That's not a long-term contract and there's no logical excuse that the Miami Marlins can't afford that.

In a recent report from Sean McAdam of Boston Sports Journal, he writes that the Boston Red Sox " made inquiries" regarding Miami Marlins first baseman Garrett Cooper.Cooper enjoyed the healthiest season of his career in 2022, playing a personal-best 119 games.He peaked during a red-hot June (.378/.418/.511/.929/2

If you need any proof that Spring Training is more about getting comfortable with new routines as opposed to stats and results, look no further than Marlins starting pitcher Johnny Cueto, whose biggest obstacle during Friday's start was his own PitchCom.PitchCom, introduced to Major League Baseball in 2022, is a wearable device that transmits signals from catcher to pitcher by pressing buttons.

With just three weeks left until pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training, here are three things we'll be keeping an eye on around the baseball world throughout the day today:
