Free Falling Marlins Drop 8th Straight
Thanks in large part to shortstop Melvin Upton Jr., the New York Mets beat the Florida Marlins, 6-5. Upton Jr. was 2-3 with a double and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The win belonged to Joe Nathan in relief. His record improves to 8-0. Jason Mikels took the loss for Florida. The loss makes Florida 77-85.

The game was decided with one out in the bottom of the ninth. With New York trailing 5-4, Upton Jr. hit a sinker from Jose Jimenez for a 2-run single. In the blink of an eye, the Mets had a walk-off win.

"Was I getting worried?" said Mets manager K.P. Paull. "Nope." Then he added, with a wink, "There was never a doubt in my mind."
