Realmuto, Rojas lift Marlins past Mets

MIAMI -- J.T. Realmuto hit a two-out, walk-off RBI double in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Miami Marlins snapped the New York Mets' five-game win streak with a 3-2 victory on Friday night at Marlins Park.

Dee Gordon and Miguel Rojas each had three hits for Miami (5-5). Rojas also scored the winning run, racing home from first when Realmuto hit a 3-2 pitch to right-center field.

It was the first walk-off hit of Realmuto's career.

The Mets (7-4) got a homer from Lucas Duda, his fourth of the season. New York has homered in 10 straight games and has hit 17 long balls in the past six contests.

Neither starting pitcher earned a decision. New York's Noah Syndergaard was sharp, allowing two runs, one earned, on six hits with no walks in six innings. But Miami's Edison Volquez wasn't as good, allowing two runs on five hits with four walks in 4 2/3 innings.

Miami opened the scoring with an unearned run in the first inning. Gordon led off with a single and Realmuto hit a grounder to shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, who tried to get the force play at second but threw wildly. Gordon then scored on a Christian Yelich sacrifice fly.

New York got its own sacrifice fly to tie the score in the third. Volquez allowed a single and walked two batters to load the bases with one out. He fell behind 3-0 on Michael Conforto, who could have taken a pitch. Instead, Conforto lofted a sacrifice fly, tying the score but also helping Volquez escape more trouble.

The Mets took a 2-1 lead in the fifth on Duda's homer to center that traveled 420 feet.

Miami came right back in the bottom of the fifth, tying the score 2-2 on a bloop hit by Gordon.

Miami nearly went up 3-2 in the seventh. With the bases loaded and one out, Yelich lined a shot to left. Conforto made the catch and threw out Rojas at the plate. The Marlins asked for a review, arguing that the tag by Rene Rivera was late. The call stood, and the Marlins reacted in stunned fashion.

NOTES: Miami recalled LHP Jarlin Garcia from Double-A Jacksonville. Garcia pitched a scoreless sixth inning in his major league debut. ... Miami sent RHP Nick Wittgren to Triple-A New Orleans. Wittgren pitched three perfect innings in Thursday's 16-inning loss. Given the Marlins' tired bullpen, they needed someone who was fresh. ... New York made a similar move, sending INF T.J. Rivera to Triple-A Las Vegas, recalling LHP Sean Gilmartin from Vegas. ... Because of their recent workload, Mets relievers Addison Reed, Hansel Robles and Josh Smoker were unavailable on Friday. ... New York also rested three starters: LF Yoenis Cespedes, 2B Neil Walker and C Travis d'Arnaud. ... Miami rested one starter, RF Giancarlo Stanton, although his career numbers against Mets RHP Noah Syndergaard (0-for-11, six strikeouts) may have convinced Marlins manager Don Mattingly to make the move. ... Mets RHP Jacob deGrom will face Marlins LHP Adam Conley in Saturday's third of this four-game series.
