Norby helps Marlins avoid collapse in 11-8 win over Mets

Connor Norby had three RBIs in the final three innings and the Miami Marlins beat the New York Mets 11-8 on Saturday after squandering a six-run lead.

Juan Soto homered twice for the Mets, who fell behind 8-2 in the third as All-Star lefty David Peterson gave up a career-high eight runs in two-plus innings.

Mark Vientos hit a three-run homer and Soto launched a solo shot before his two-run drive tied it 8-all in the sixth. New York, however, was unable to complete the comeback.

Francisco Lindor had a leadoff homer for the Mets, who began the day with a five-game lead over Cincinnati for the final National League wild card.
