Mets Maintain Wild-Card Lead In 5-2 Win Over Marlins

MIAMI -- James Loney and Jay Bruce each hit two-run homers to lead the New York Mets to a 5-2 win over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night.

Bruce, who also hit a two-run shot against Miami on Tuesday, leads the Mets with 32 homers, although 25 of them were hit before the Cincinnati Reds traded him to New York on July 31.

Loney was in the lineup only after the Mets scratched first baseman Lucas Duda due to an apparent injury.

New York has hit 216 homers this season, and they ranked second in the NL in that category entering Wednesday.
