Luis Robert Jr. hit a two-run single in the eighth inning, helping the New York Mets secure a 4-2 win against the Miami Marlins on Thursday night. The victory came after a rally that followed Bo Bichette's double and Carson Benge's single, who also swiped second base. Mets starter Nolan McLean allowed two runs and struck out six over 6 1/3 innings. Devin Williams earned his 16th save, while Brooks Raley recorded five outs in the seventh and eighth innings. The Marlins' two home runs from Kyle Stowers and Jakob Marsee were not enough to extend their three-game winning streak, now halted. The teams will meet again as Marlins' Janson Junk is set to oppose Mets' Freddy Peralta in the next game.

"Luis Robert Jr. had a two-run single to cap an eighth-inning rally in the New York Mets' 4-2 victory over the Miami Marlins on Thursday night. Bo Bichette doubled off Michael Petersen (1-2) with two outs, and Carson Benge singled and swiped second to set up Robert’s hit — just his fourth in 29 at-bats since he returned to the Mets on July 20 following a three-month stint on the injured list. Brooks Raley (5-2), an impending free agent who is a candidate to be traded by the last-place Mets before the deadline Monday, got five outs in the seventh and eighth.
