NEW YORK — \u2014 Costly errors by first baseman Pete Alonso<\/a> and left fielder Brandon Nimmo<\/a> helped the Miami Marlins<\/a> score three unearned runs in the seventh inning of a 7-4 victory Thursday night over the sloppy New York Mets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nimmo hit a two-run double in the first and Alonso launched a two-run homer in the fifth, tying it 4 with his 30th longball this season. But the Mets made three errors in all that led to five unearned runs, halting their momentum following a three-game sweep of NL East-leading Philadelphia.<\/a><\/p>\n

New York fell five games behind the Phillies, who routed Atlanta 19-4 at home, with 28 remaining. The second-place Mets are four games in front of Cincinnati for the final National League wild card.<\/p>\n

Otto L\u00f3pez had a pair of RBI singles for the Marlins (63-71), who bounced back in the opener of a four-game series after getting outscored 23-3 at home by the Braves over the previous two days.<\/p>\n

Cade Gibson<\/a> (3-5) struck out three in 1 1\/3 scoreless innings for the win. Calvin Faucher<\/a> pitched a perfect ninth for his 13th save.<\/p>\n

Mets starter Clay Holmes<\/a> went five innings and committed a costly error of his own. He dropped a throw he had to reach for from Alonso while covering first base with two outs in the third, leading to two unearned runs. <\/p>\n

Key moment <\/p>\n

Jakob Marsee<\/a> opened the seventh with a single off Gregory Soto<\/a> (1-5) and advanced to second when Alonso flubbed Liam Hicks<\/a>‘ easy grounder. Marsee scored the go-ahead run when Nimmo bobbled Agust\u00edn Ram\u00edrez’s single.<\/p>\n

Key stat <\/p>\n

New York dropped to 10-15 in August and 4-3 against Miami this year.<\/p>\n

Up next <\/p>\n

Prized pitching prospect Jonah Tong makes his major league debut<\/a> Friday night for the Mets against Marlins RHP Eury P\u00e9rez (6-3, 3.44 ERA).<\/p>\n
