Late rally leads Marlins past Mets, 5-4

1) Nursing a 4-2 lead in the eighth, Fernando Salas retired the first two batters, walked the third and allowed back-to-back homers to Christian Yelich and Giancarlo Stanton to give the Marlins a 5-4 lead they would not relinquish.

2) Jacob deGrom allowed consecutive homers to Justin Bour and Marcel Ozuna but was otherwise brilliant, tying his career high with 13 strikeouts in seven innings. He surrendered four hits and a walk and was lifted after throwing 97 pitches. DeGrom retired 11 straight batters after the home runs in the second and struck out three batters in the first, fourth and seventh innings.
