One night after a furious comeback, the New York Mets channeled their inner comeback kid once again, only to lose in rather frustrating fashion.

New York sent Rafael Montero to the hill in a spot start. Montero pitched pretty well, retiring 12 of his first 13 batters and finishing the fifth inning with no runs and just one hit allowed. But, Montero struggled in the sixth, allowing Giancarlo Stanton and Jacob Realmuto to slap RBI singles into the outfield. Buddy Carlyle would relieve Montero and throw a wild pitch, allowing Marcell Ozuna to score the third and final run of the inning.

However, the Mets have grinded their way to 15 wins in April, and they almost found an unbelievable way to emerge victorious again. In the top of the seventh, Kirk Nieuwenhuis, Anthony Recker, and Curtis Granderson all singled, and the Juan Lagares delivered with a three-run double, which probably would have been a grand slam in every other National League ballpark. The game tying three-bagger came off Miami reliever A.J. Ramos, who entered two hitters earlier for former Yankee David Phelps. Phelps was charged with two of the runs.

The Mets had a really good chance to take the lead in the eighth inning, as the suddenly hot Daniel Murphy knocked a leadoff double to center, which would bring up Ruben Tejada. The Mets' second string shortstop who got the start today was told to bunt, but he couldn't get it down, resulting in Murphy being thrown out at third base. Later on, Anthony Recker would draw a walk to make it first and second, but the pinch hitting Michael Cuddyer grounded into a fielder's choice to end the inning.

In the bottom of the eight, Carlos Torres entered the game, and immediately showed showed that his control wasn't great. Torres walked Martin Prado to open the inning, and after retiring Giancarlo Stanton, he walked Marcell Ozuna to put two runners on with one out. Although Torres was all over the place, he stayed in the game, and gave up an RBI single on the first pitch to Michael Morse, his eighth RBI of 2015.

Granderson led off the ninth for New York with a walk, but Steve Cishek would redeem himself from Monday's blunders, retiring the next three batters and securing the win for the Fish with his second save of the season.

Tomorrow the Mets and Marlins will face off in the rubber match of the series, as Bartolo Colon (4-0, 2.77 ERA) will face Mat Latos (0-3, 7.31 ERA).
