Miami, Sept. 25: Cory Sullivan singled home the tying and go-ahead runs in the ninth inning Friday to rally the New York Mets past Florida 6-5.

The Marlins began the night four games behind Colorado in the National League wild card chase.

Florida, which had won its previous two games, came back from an early three-run deficit and owned a 5-4 advantage going into the ninth.

Leo Nunez (4-5) came on in search of his 24th save, but promptly loaded the bases on singles by Daniel Murphy and Jeff Francoeur along with a walk to pinch-hitter Jeremy Reed.

Sullivan then hit for Anderson Hernandez and stroked an 0-1 pitch into left field for his two-run single. The Mets again loaded the bases with one away, but could do no more damage.

Mets put starting pitcher Nieve on DL

Washington, July 20: The New York Mets placed starting pitcher Fernando Nieve on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a muscle tear in his right thigh, the team said.

Nieve, who is 3-3 with a 2.95 ERA in eight games (seven starts) this season, suffered the injury trying to run out a ground ball in the second inning of Sunday's 7-1 loss at Atlanta. He is expected to be out at least six weeks.

Nieve is the ninth Mets player currently on the DL.

The Mets replaced Nieve on the roster by recalling outfielder Cory Sullivan from Triple-A Buffalo. Sullivan was hitting .290 with a pair of homers and 24 RBI with Buffalo this season.
