Adam Greenberg made his first major league appearance in seven years as the Miami Marlins took the New York Mets 4-3 in 11 innings on Tuesday night at Marlins Park. He struck out as a pinch-hitter for Bryan Petersen during the sixth inning. Greenberg was hit by a pitch in his only other plate appearance while he played for the Chicago Cubs against the Marlins back in July 2005.
R.A. Dickey started for New York and allowed three runs on seven hits in six innings. He also struck out eight Marlins. Jacob Turner went 7 2/3 innings for the Fish and surrendered one run on three hits.
Dickey gave up home runs in two straight innings. Gorkys Hernandez blasted a solo home run into left field on a 2-1 pitch with one out in the fourth inning. It was Hernandez's third homer this season. Rob Brantly led off the fifth inning and pounded a solo homer to right field on a 1-0 count for his third home run of the year.
The Marlins pulled off a two-out rally to extend their lead 3-0 in the sixth inning. Reyes and Giancarlo Stanton both had base hits to left-center field. Carlos Lee drove Reyes in with a single into right field.
New York placed three runs and tied the game in the eighth inning. Jordany Valdespin scored on a David Wright single to right with two out off Heath Bell. After Ike Davis walked to load the bases, Daniel Murphy added another run on a wild pitch and Wright scored on an infield single by Scott Hairston.
Donovan Solano brought in the winning run with a two-out bases loaded single to center field off Collin McHugh. Reyes crossed the plate to end the game.
