NEW YORK (AP) — Curtis Granderson came off the bench and homered twice, powering the Mets to the victory.
Asdrubal Cabrera extended his recent tear at the plate, hitting a two-run homer in his return to the lineup after missing one start due to a sore left knee. Rookie right-hander Seth Lugo (2-2) pitched six effective innings and Jeurys Familia earned his major league-leading 43rd save as the Mets won for the eighth time in 10 games.
By taking the first two games of the four-game series, New York (68-64) moved ahead of slumping Miami for second place in the NL East.
Christian Yelich hit a two-run homer for the Marlins, who have dropped four straight and six of eight overall. Tom Koehler (9-10) got the loss.
