Marlins pound Mets to complete sweep

All season, the Marlins have stressed winning series. Now, with games winding down, there is a necessity to compile some sweeps. The Marlins did just that this week against the Mets at Citi Field.



Powered by Nick Johnson’s four RBIs and Hanley Ramirez’s three hits, the Marlins cruised to a 13-4 win over the Mets on Thursday night in front of 37,620 at Citi Field.

The win gave the Marlins their first sweep over the Mets in New York since taking four straight Aug. 30-Sept. 2, 2004. Now at 75-65, the Marlins are 10 games over .500 for the first time since they were 11-1 on April 19.

On a youthful Marlins squad, Wes Helms is a stabilizing presence. A role model coming off the bench, the 33-year-old is one of the team’s most respected players.

Established as one of the top pinch-hitters in the game, Helms makes contributions when called upon to play. But perhaps the biggest impact he makes is helping mold a youthful squad.

The way he constantly checks up on players prompted outfielder Brett Carroll to call him Uncle Wes. The nickname has caught on. Catcher John Baker had special “Uncle Wes” T-shirts made in Helms’ honor, and a few are circulating around the Marlins’ clubhouse.
