MIAMI -- When the New York Mets needed a run, Nick Evans delivered. #16 Jacksonville Jaguars Denard Robinson Black Womens Jersey . Evans had three go-ahead base hits including one in the 12th inning to give the Mets a 7-4 win over the Florida Marlins on Tuesday night. "To be honest, hes got something to prove," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "You cant get designated as many times as hes been designated in the last couple of years and not have something to prove. Hes taken this opportunity to show us he can hit." Jose Reyes, Justin Turner, Angel Pagan, and Evans each had three hits for the Mets, who gave up a two-run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning. Evans, who is looking to make a statement in the final month, also delivered go-ahead RBI singles in the sixth and eighth. "Theres still 25 games left in the season," Evans said. "Ive been playing for 12 so I still got a long way to go before I can exhale coming into spring training." Jose Ceda (0-1) gave up three straight hits to begin the 12th, including Evans soft liner to centre 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 career save. "It was exciting, glad to get that one out of the way," Stinson said. "Three games, got two of the big ones out of the way-first strikeout and first save." Not too many of the announced crowd of 22,318 stuck around for the finish of a game that lasted four hours, 29 minutes after the start of the game was delayed 1:14 due to rain. "Theyre exhausted," Collins said. "Absolutely physically and mentally exhausted and I dont blame them." The Marlins left 16 runners on base and were unable to take advantage of three errors by the Mets including a crucial one in the 11th by David Wright, who dropped a pop-up that put two runners in scoring position, but Donnie Murphy struck out to end the inning. "Sixteen on base again," Marlins manager Jack McKeon said. "We had chances in the early innings, bases loaded and one out two times, couldnt dent the plate." With the Mets leading 4-2 in the bottom of the ninth, Bobby Parnell allowed a single to Greg Dobbs and a two-out walk to Logan Morrison. Mike Cameron then doubled off the left-centre wall as both runners scored to tie the score. Murphy also struck out to end the ninth. It was Parnells fourth blown save in nine chances. Evans singled in the eighth to give the Mets a 3-2 lead and Pagan doubled off first baseman Gaby Sanchezs glove in the ninth for another run. Dobbs had three hits and drove in two runs. The Mets walked the bases loaded with one out in the fourth and eighth, but escaped both jams without allowing a run. Mets starter Miguel Batista allowed one run and five hits in six innings. He struck out three and walked four. Chris Volstad, who has not won since July 10, pitched six innings and allowed two runs for the Marlins. "It was a pretty crazy game, back and forth, a battle," Volstad said. NOTES: A black cat scampered in front of the Marlins dugout and jumped into the stands in the eighth inning with the Mets batting. ... Marlins INF Matt Dominguez made his major league debut in the 10th when he was hit by a pitch. ... Marlins CF Mike Cameron left the game in the 11th inning with a tight hamstring and is considered day-to-day. ... Mets LHP Johan Santana (shoulder) threw a successful bullpen session before the game and will make his second minor league rehab start on Friday with hopes of returning to the majors at some point this season. ... Marlins SS Hanley Ramirez, who has not played since Aug. 2, will have season-ending shoulder surgery on Sept. 15. ... Wednesdays game between the two clubs was moved up two hours to a 5:10 start to accommodate the Mets doubleheader on Thursday against the Braves. The Mets will send RHP R.A. Dickey to the mound. He is 2-0 with a 0.00 ERA in two games at Sun Life Stadium. Florida will counter with LHP Brad Hand, who did not earn a decision in his lone start against the Mets earlier this season. Elite Carson Tinker Jacksonville Jaguars Road Jersey . -- Having played six seasons with the Kings, Kevin Martin is very comfortable at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento. Nike Jacksonville Jaguars Justin Blackmon Elite Black Mens NFL Alternate Jersey . Louis is going to get a chance to represent his country at the Winter Olympics after all.4) Do you think that there is a misconception about playing in Toronto or in Canada among players in the league?Some players dont really get to know the city of Toronto. Toronto is a great city, a great market and its the only team in Canada so the support is unbelievable and not a lot of players get that. To me, this experience has been one of the best lifetime experiences for me because the fans were so involved, the city were so involved and the whole country was so involved. The Toronto Raptors are a first-class franchise and its really where you want to be.5) Have you been to a hockey game since joining the Raptors and if so, what do you like most about the sport?Yeah I have. I went to a Leafs game and it was unbelievable fun. Its a very physical game and unfortunately they didnt fight when I was there. I like hockey, its very intense.6) Chris Paul said in a postgame interview that you talk too much. What kind of things do you say to get under other players skin?When I played against him in my third year when I was in New Orleans, I had some good games against him. Obviously Chris Paul is one of the best and I love to go against the best. We got into it and thats part of the game. I wasnt talking too much, if anything, Chris Paul is one of those guys who talk too much, but its cool, Im not mad at him or anything like that. I try to give him a good sweat and make him think thhat its not going to be easy for him to beat me. Elite Bryan Anger Jacksonville Jaguars Jersey Nike Black Camo Fashion. 7) Whats your favourite thing to do in Toronto?I love to go to different restaurants. They have great restaurants, great food and theyre very diverse. I like that a lot, I like tasting different food.8) Heres a video of Jason Terry trying to flop against you and then come after you – whats your reaction when you see that?That was unnecessary, thats a veteran player and he knows that hes better than that. I was like "whats wrong with this dude"?9) Which member of the Raptors do you hang out with the most off of the court?I really love hanging out with Steve Novak, Landry Fields, Tyler Hansborough, but I have a great relationship with everyone. To me, this was the best team that Ive ever played with because the chemistry and the treatment of one another was really good.10) You used a lint roller on Toronto deputy mayor Norm Kelly. Did the lint roller thing with Drake become something that the team had fun with in the locker room?Its another way to get marketing and promotions, so I think its cool to use the lint roller and help people out. Its just fun to do things like that.11) Do you believe that Kyle Lowry will be in a Raptors uniform when the 2014-15 season begins?Yes.12) Whats your NBA Finals prediction and who will ultimately win?San Antonio against Miami and the Spurs win in 6 games. cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' '
