NEW YORK (AP) β Bartolo Colon hit a tying sacrifice fly for his second RBI in two starts, later pounced off the mound to make a key play, and pitched the New York Mets past the Miami Marlins 4-1 Friday night for their sixth straight win.
Colon (3-0) gave up Giancarlo Stanton’s second homer of the series in the first inning, then allowed just five more hits through seven to win his third consecutive start.
Michael Cuddyer had a go-ahead single in the sixth for New York, Eric Campbell added a sacrifice fly and Juan Lagares made two nimble catches in center field on the night he collected his 2014 Gold Glove award. The Mets last won six in a row in April 2011.
Jeurys Familia pitched the ninth for his fifth save.
Stanton has homered in five straight games against the Mets, dating to last season. Brad Hand (0-1) lost in relief.
