Tom Koehler pitched eight shutout innings giving up two hits.  He walked one and struck out five and Steve Cishek picked up his third win of the season pitching a perfect inning with a strikeout. 

David Wright had a hit, Curtis Granderson drew a walk and Lucas Duda had a hit.  Wright hit a double and the Mets were 0-3 with runners in scoring position and left three men on base.

The only run of the game came in the ninth inning.  Ozuna hit a walk-off sacrifice fly to give the Marlins the win and the sweep of the three game series.  The Mets leave Miami limping.  They are a game under 500 now and will head to Philadelphia before returning to New York and playing the four straight subway series games against the New York Yankees.
