Martin Prado's fifth hit of the game was a two-out double in the 11th inning that scored Christian Yelich from first base and gave the Miami Marlins a 6-5 victory over the New York Mets on Friday night.
The Mets tied the seesaw game with a run in the ninth but they stranded 13 runners, including three in the eighth and three more in the ninth.
Mets starter Jacob deGrom allowed nine hits and three runs in six innings. His ERA has climbed to 2.40 from 1.98 on Aug. 24, but he was in line for his 13th win before an uncharacteristically shaky showing by the bullpen in the seventh.
Rookie Michael Conforto, batting cleanup for the first time because injuries left the Mets short-handed, went 0 for 6 with an RBI. David Wright went 0 for 5.
Cole Gillespie singled to open the 11th against Mets reliever Erik Goeddel (0-1). Yelich hit into a fielder's choice against left-hander Eric O'Flaherty, and scored without a play when Prado lined a ball into the right-field corner.
Prado's five hits were a career high. The Marlins totaled 17 hits in their fourth consecutive victory.
The Mets trailed 5-4 with two outs in the ninth when Travis d'Arnaud singled off closer A.J. Ramos. D'Arnaud took third on a single by Juan Uribe, and Kelly Johnson's single up the middle tied the game and handed Ramos his sixth blown save in 29 chances.
