Marlins helpless as Mets rally from six runs down to steal victory

A big lead turned into a big meltdown for the Marlins.

Nothing is going right for the struggling Marlins, who watched a 7-1 lead evaporate into an 8-7 loss to the Mets on Friday at Citi Field when the bullpen stumbled late.

The result was their eighth loss over their past 10 games.

The Marlins scored six runs in the fourth to open up a 7-1 lead.

But they couldn’t hold it.

Curtis Granderson hit a two-run homer off Tom Koehler in the Mets half of the fourth to make it 7-3. Koehler also gave up a solo shot in the first to T.
