					| Mets Mow Down Marlins, 9-4 |  
					| The Mets grabbed a win, 9-4, at Marlins Park, overcoming a fine effort from Miami pitcher Matt Payne. Payne went 6 innings and allowed 2 runs. Jeff Jank got credit for the win, improving to 6-2. He allowed 4 runs on 7 hits in 8 innings. New York is second in the National League East Division with a record of 41-41. 
 New York used a timely hit from Drtian Thaqi to get the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring  double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Mets ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.
 
 "Hustle and hard work is a big part of our success," said Thaqi. "Those qualities define our team."
