Jacob Zanon's two-out, two-run double in the fifth inning turned a one-run deficit into a 3-2 lead for the Mets. Tim Tebow started the inning with a double and J.C. Rodriguez worked a two-out walk. Both players scored when Zanon's extra base hit went over the right fielder.
Stephen Nogosek stranded the tying run at third base in the seventh inning and pitched a perfect eighth to preserve the lead.
Alex Palsha worked around a two-out single in the top of the ninth to collect his fifth save.
