MIAMI (The Sports Xchange) — Slumping Michael Conforto tied the score with a single and pinch-hitter Matt Reynolds had the go-ahead RBI as the New York Mets rallied in the eighth inning to beat the Miami Marlins 6-4 on Saturday afternoon at Marlins Park.
The Mets (31-23) will go for a three-game sweep against the Marlins (29-27) on Sunday.
Conforto, who had two RBIs after not being in the original starting lineup, broke a 0-for-20 skid with an eighth-inning single that drove in James Loney, who led off with a double.
Marlins manager Don Mattingly had Curtis Granderson intentionally walked to get to Reynolds, who spoiled the plan by slicing an opposite-field single to right.
