Marlins starter Eury Pérez (7-11) was lifted after allowing a season-high seven runs – five earned – and 10 hits over four innings. Pérez has given up 18 runs and 21 hits over 11 2/3 inning in his last three starts.

Graham Pauley’s three-run homer capped a four-run second that gave Miami a 4-3 lead. Javier Sanoja hit an RBI triple before Pauley drove Tong’s fastball into the Mets’ bullpen in right.

Francisco Alvarez’s RBI single in the third tied it at 4-all.

The Mets struck quickly with two unearned runs in the first.

Juan Soto scored from first when second baseman Sanoja threw errantly past shortstop Otto Lopez to left field on an attempted force out. Bichette raced home from third on catcher Joe Mack’s throwing error.
