MIAMI (AP) – Travis d’Arnaud led off the 16th inning with a home run, giving him a career-high four hits, as the New York Mets beat the Miami Marlins 9-8 Thursday night for their fifth straight win.
The game was the longest in the five-year history of Marlins Park. It took more than 5 1/2 hours and ended well past midnight.
