Marlins blast back-to-back homers twice to rally past the Mets

It was a back-to-back kind of night for the Marlins.

Not once — but twice — the Marlins connected on back-to-back home runs Saturday night, and the result was a 5-4 victory over the Mets.

On a night when Mets starter Jacob deGrom set a Marlins Park record for most strikeouts by a visiting pitcher with 13, the Marlins brought out their heavy artillery to pull out the win.

Christian Yelich launched a game-tying two-run homer off Mets reliever Fernando Salas in the eighth, which was followed immediately by a Giancarlo Stanton go-ahead solo blast into the center field shrubbery.
