     Both clubs scored in the fifth inning. The Mets retook the lead 2-1 on a solo home run by Mark Canha to left field on a 2-2 pitch for his sixth homer this year. The Marlins evened it up 2-2 as Jon Berti scored on a ground out to second by Jorge Soler. 

     New York got their third lead of the contest with three runs in the top of the seventh. Lindor doubled into right-center field for Tomas Nido, Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte to score.
