J.D. Martinez smashed a two-run home run off Tanner Scott in the bottom of the ninth inning, giving the Mets a 3-2 win, and the Marlins another gut-wrenching loss in a season that has been full of them.

Martinez's HR- his first career walk-off- drove in Francisco Lindor, who had walked and stolen second base, sending Mets fans into a frenzy in Queens. J.D. went 2-4 on a night when the Marlins held the Mets to just three hits.

The Mets' late-inning heroics wiped out a brilliant start by Marlins' Rookie Roddery Munoz, who pitched six brilliant innings of one-hit baseball. Munoz struck out five and walked only one in what was easily the best start of his best career.

But the Marlins' bullpen was shaky for the second straight game. Anthony Bender and Calvin Faucher pitched out of a bases-loaded jam with no outs in the seventh inning, allowing just one run.

Jake Burger and Jazz Chisholm hit solo home runs for the Marlins, and Tim Anderson had his second two-hit game in this series.

The New York Mets pounded the baseball all over the field, roughing up the Miami Marlins pitching staff for nine runs on 14 hits in a 10-4 win that evens up this series between NL East rivals at a game apiece.

Tyrone Taylor had four hits to lead the Mets' attack. Harrison Bader, Francisco Lindor, and Starling Marte homered, and Bader drove in two runs, as did Francisco Alvarez for the Mets, 29-37.

Braxton Garrett gave up six runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings for Miami, 23-44.

Jazz Chisholm had two hits for the Marlins.

Tim Anderson had two hits two RBI's and a run scored for Miami, 23-43. Bryan De La Cruz added an RBI double, and Nick Gordon hit a sacrifice fly for an insurance run in the ninth.
