Mets 4, Marlins 3: Curtis Granderson singled home the winning run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning as host New York rallied past Miami in the opener of a three-game series.

Omar Quintanilla singled home Lucas Duda with two outs to tie the game and moved to third on a Kirk Nieuwenhuis double before Granderson lined a shot to right field to end it. David Wright had two hits and an RBI while Jeurys Familia (1-2) pitched a scoreless ninth as the Mets earned their ninth comeback victory.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Garrett Jones belted back-to-back, two-out solo homers in the eighth inning to give Miami a 3-2 lead. Marlins closer Steve Cishek (1-1) allowed two runs and four hits in two-thirds of an inning as his club-record streak of 33 straight saves came to an end.

Wright singled through a drawn-in infield to knock in Eric Young Jr. with one out in the third before scoring on Daniel Murphy’s RBI double into the left-field corner. Derek Dietrich led off the fifth with a walk and later scored on Marcell Ozuna’s two-out single up the middle to pull the Marlins within a run.

Saltalamacchia drilled a 3-2 pitch into the left-center field seats off Gonzalez Germen to tie the game and Jones followed by hooking a 2-1 offering off the right-field foul pole. Duda blooped a single to left field to open the ninth, was sacrificed to second and scored on Quintanilla’s clutch single to left field.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Mets starter RHP Zack Wheeler allowed only one run on four hits and struck out a season-high 10 over six innings while Miami RHP Henderson Alvarez went the first six frames, yielding two runs on six hits with four strikeouts. … Miami LF Christian Yelich was 0-for-4 with a walk and saw his 17-game hitting streak come to an end. … Young has reached base in 19 straight games, the longest active streak in the majors.
