MIAMI — Mark Canha made a secret tweak. He won’t reveal it, but it wasn’t anything major.“It was something that was this big,” the Mets’ outfielder said, holding up two fingers less than an inch apart.It was a small adjustment that paid big dividends.One night after the Mets had a dismal offensive showing against the Miami Marlins, they answered some questions to move to 2-1 on the season.Canha had a home run, a double, an RBI single, a walk and three runs scored and Omar Narvaez went 2-for-3 with two RBI to beat the Marlins 6-2 on Saturday at LoanDepot Park.

After a chat with Hottovy between innings, everything clicked for Steele.“I definitely found a rhythm,” Steele said. “Once I got going, I was in a groove and got comfortable out there.”Steele completed six shutout innings, scattering three hits, striking out eight and walking one batter. The Cubs failed to capitalize on Steele’s performance in a 3-1 loss. Steel...
