MIAMI (AP) — Nick Evans drove in three runs including a go-ahead single in the 12th inning to give the New York Mets a 6-4 win over the Florida Marlins on Tuesday night.

Jose Reyes, Justin Turner, Angel Pagan, and Evans each had three hits for the Mets, who lost a two-run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Jose Ceda (0-1) gave up three straight hits to begin the 12th, including Evan’s soft liner to center to score Pagan. Later in the inning, Reyes hit an RBI single and Lucas Duda drew a bases-loaded walk to give the Mets a 7-4 lead.

Ryota Igarashi (4-1) struck out the only batter he faced.

Josh Stinson, the Mets’ eighth pitcher, pitched a perfect inning to record his first save.
