NEW YORK (AP) — MJ Melendez hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning to give the New York Mets a 9-7 victory over the Miami Marlins after squandering a four-run lead Friday night.<\/p>\n

Mark Vientos launched a 445-foot homer for the last-place Mets, who have won two in a row following a five-game slide. <\/p>\n

A.J. Ewing and Brett Baty each had a two-run single in the first against unbeaten Max Meyer, who blanked New York on one hit over seven innings last weekend in Miami to help the Marlins earn a three-game sweep.<\/p>\n

Melendez came off the bench as a pinch hitter in the seventh and supplied a sacrifice fly that extended New York’s lead to 7-5. Owen Caissie tied it with a two-run homer off Tobias Myers in the eighth.<\/p>\n

With one out in the 10th, Melendez fell behind 0-2 in the count before lofting a 98 mph fastball from Pete Fairbanks (2-3) into the second deck in right field just inside the foul pole. <\/p>\n

Pinch-runner Vidal Bruján, the automatic runner at second base, scored ahead of a fired-up Melendez, who flipped his bat when the ball stayed fair and gestured excitedly toward the New York dugout on Fireworks Night at Citi Field.<\/p>\n

It was his first game-ending hit in the majors and the fifth walk-off victory this year for the Mets (24-33), who are 7-4 in extra innings.<\/p>\n

Austin Warren (1-1) worked a perfect inning for the win. <\/p>\n

Mets starter Freddy Peralta was handed leads of 4-0, 5-1 and 6-2 in the opener of a three-game series, but he allowed four runs — two earned — and seven hits in 4 2\/3 innings. <\/p>\n

Kyle Stowers had three hits for Miami, including an RBI double. Meyer lasted six innings despite giving up six runs, five earned, and six hits. <\/p>\n

Before the game, New York will induct former manager Bobby Valentine and outfielder Lee Mazzilli into the team’s Hall of Fame during a ceremony at Citi Field. <\/p>\n
