NY Mets 4 at Miami 5 - Recap

MIAMI -- Christian Yelich and Giancarlo Stanton hit back-to-back home runs in the eighth inning to help the Miami Marlins rally for a 5-4 win over the New York Mets on Saturday night at Marlins Park.

Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom, who tied a career high with 13 strikeouts in seven innings, left the game with a 4-2 lead and took a no-decision.

Both homers came off reliever Fernando Salas (0-1). Yelich connected on a two-run blast to right that tied the score 4-4. Stanton followed immediately with a solo drive to center.

The power show led the Marlins (6-5) to their fourth win over the Mets (7-5) this season. The Mets have won just twice in this year's series.

Miami hit consecutive homers twice in the same game for just the second time in franchise history, also accomplishing the feat in 2010. Justin Bour and Marcell Ozuna also went back-to-back in the second innings.

New York opened the scoring. With two out in the first, Neil Walker grounded a double down the third-base line, scoring Asdrubal Cabrera from second.

Miami went ahead 2-1 in the second when its first two batters, Bour and Ozuna, went deep.

New York regained the lead in the seventh. Walker led off with a bunt single and scored when Curtis Granderson drilled a triple to the right-center gap. The ball grazed off the glove of Yelich, who made a diving attempt on the warning track.

Pinch hitter Michael Conforto then gave the Mets a 3-2 lead with a sacrifice fly to the warning track in center.

Cabrera pulled a homer to the upper deck in right to give the Mets a 4-2 lead. It was the 11th straight game in which the Mets have hit at least one homer.

Cabrera, who connected off reliever Junichi Tazawa (1-0), was in a 2-for-20 slump when he homered. It was also the third homer Tazawa has allowed in five innings this season.

NOTES: Mets RHP Noah Syndergaard, the first pitcher in franchise history to start the season with 20 strikeouts and no walks, is unlikely to miss time despite two cracked and bloody nails on his pitching hand. The second nail, on his middle finger, cracked in the sixth inning Friday, forcing his exit from the game. ... It was illness and not rest that caused Mets LF Yoenis Cespedes to miss Friday's start. ... Marlins SS Adeiny Hechavarria (oblique strain) took grounders in pregame warmups and appears ready to start a rehab assignment on Monday, possibly rejoining the team in about a week. ... Marlins 3B Martin Prado (hamstring) is expected to rejoin the team Monday at the Seattle Mariners. ... Sunday's finale of this four-game series will feature Mets RHP Matt Harvey (2-0, 2.92 ERA) against Marlins RHP Dan Straily (1-1, 7.56).
