Matt Harvey surrendered four runs, two earned, in 3 1/3 innings with three strikeouts. The right-hander was lifted after 68 pitches. Marlins lefty Justin Nicolino threw three shutout innings with one strikeout.
Luis Guillorme's infield RBI single off Dillon Peters in the seventh inning got the Mets on the board.
Nicolino yielded an infield single to Tebow in the second to put two runners on, but the southpaw got out of the inning unscathed.
"He's had a great career, in the football aspect," Nicolino said of Tebow. "It's kind of nice seeing him out there competing and giving everything he has to offer.
