Marlins break through in 8th, hold on to defeat Mets

NEW YORK -- Derek Hill delivered a tiebreaking single with two outs in the eighth inning that sent the Miami Marlins to a 3-2 victory over the New York Mets on Sunday.

Nick Fortes had a sacrifice fly and Hill scored on a wild pitch for the last-place Marlins, who prevented a three-game sweep. Miami became the first team to win a game in which it had three runners picked off since the New York Yankees beat Toronto 4-2 in June 1991.

Andrew Nardi (3-1) struck out two and Declan Cronin got pinch-hitter J.
