Mets come up short after Montero struggles

Off Goeddel, the Marlins connected on three home runs in the eighth. A.J. Ellis and Miguel Rojas went back-to-back, marking the fifth time that's happened for Miami, and the first since Aug. 6 at Atlanta, when Marcell Ozuna and J.T. Realmuto did the trick. Justin Bour added a two-run homer off Rafael Montero in the third inning. Bour's 23 homers match a personal high, first accomplished in 2015.
