NEW YORK -- Giancarlo Stanton made Citi Field look small during a two-day power surge in one of his favorite ballparks. That wasnt enough for the Miami Marlins to win the series, though.Stanton hit two homers for the second consecutive day, but Wilmer Flores went deep twice for the New York Mets and Jacob deGrom pitched seven strong innings Wednesday in a 4-2 victory over Miami.Overall, it wasnt a very good trip, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said.Finally on a serious tear at the plate following his long slump, Stanton reached 200 career homers and became the first major leaguer to connect in four straight at-bats since Albert Pujols in April 2006, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.I did not know that until a minute ago. So thats really cool, Stanton said. Im on top of the fastball. Thats what Ive been successful with. Its what I fell off of for a little while. So when youre on top of that, theres not much they can do.Stanton sent one of his loud drives Wednesday into the second deck in left-center and has seven home runs and 18 RBI over his past 18 games. The slugger also has eight long balls in his last 12 games at Citi Field.But the Mets nemesis struck out to start the ninth, ending his homer streak, and the third-place Marlins (44-41) finished 3-6 on their road trip. Chris Johnson struck out with the bases loaded to end the first, and Christian Yelich grounded into a double play with runners at the corners in the fifth.Curtis Granderson had a two-run single and Jose Reyes doubled twice for his first hits this season to help New York win for the sixth time in seven games. Reyes, a former Marlins shortstop, rejoined the Mets on Tuesday and went 0 for 4 in his first major league game since serving a 59-day domestic violence suspension.The second-place Mets took two of three from Miami ahead of a four-game showdown with the NL East-leading Nationals this weekend at Citi Field leading into the All-Star break.Following a 26-pitch first inning, deGrom (5-4) settled in and won his second straight start after going winless in his previous 10. The right-hander gave up six hits and struck out seven while throwing a season-high 117 pitches in his final scheduled outing before the break.This cats always got good stuff. He can pitch. This guy, he knows what hes doing. I thought we were OK with him, honestly, Mattingly said. We made him fight and then he ends up putting those two innings together late on us. He was good.Addison Reed worked a perfect eighth and All-Star closer Jeurys Familia got three outs for his major league-best 30th save. Pinch-hitter Ichiro Suzuki grounded into a game-ending double play, keeping him at 2,990 hits.Flores connected twice off left-hander Justin Nicolino (2-5), who fell to 0-5 in his last 10 major league starts. It was Flores fourth career multihomer game and second in four days, including a 6-for-6 performance Sunday against the Chicago Cubs.Nicolino allowed four runs and four hits over four innings in his second outing since getting recalled from Triple-A New Orleans last Friday.STREAK STOPPEDMarlins catcher J.T. Realmuto had hits in seven straight at-bats dating to Sunday night before striking out his first time up.IN THE CITIMiami won its previous three series at Citi Field, where Stanton has five of his 18 career multihomer games. His 17 homers at the ballpark are the most among active visiting players.Big city, bright lights, he said.Stanton joined Derrek Lee (June 2002) as the lone Marlins players with consecutive multihomer games. The only other major leaguer to do it this season was Boston outfielder Mookie Betts.That guy is unbelievable. Hes a powerful man, Reyes said of Stanton, a former teammate. Its unbelievable the way he hits the ball.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins: 1B Justin Bour was put on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 3, with a sprained right ankle.

SEATTLE -- A night that began with cheers for new Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. echoing through Safeco Field ended with chants for Shawn OMalley, a kid that grew up a few hours southeast of Seattle idolizing the Hall of Famer.A little surreal for OMalley? Yep. Deserved? Absolutely.The fact it ended like that, it just seemed like a Griffey type of night, OMalley said. A home run to go up, late in the innings, it was just fitting.OMalley capped Seattles comeback with a three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh inning and the Mariners rallied from a four-run deficit for an 8-6 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday night.A few hours after the Mariners retired Griffeys No. 24 during an emotional pregame ceremony, OMalley sent another charge through Safeco Field. OMalley turned on an 0-1 pitch from Deolis Guerra and drove it into the right-field seats for his second home run of the season.Moments later, OMalley made a backhanded stop deep in the hole at shortstop to get Andrelton Simmons for the first out of the eighth inning and briefly Safeco Field began chanting OMalleys name.It was pretty hard to miss. It was pretty loud, OMalley said. That was pretty special, pretty cool. Never had that happen before.The conclusion to the day was celebratory for the Mariners, but it certainly didnt start that way. Seattle fell behind 3-0 on Mike Trouts 21st home run of the season in the first inning, and trailed 5-1 after Trouts RBI triple and Albert Pujols sacrifice fly in the third.Arguably the best center fielder of this generation was doing his best to upstage a night belonging to one of the best center fielders ever.But the Mariners chipped away at the deficit, taking the words of Griffey from his pregame speech when he looked at the Seattle dugout and told this current crop to keep fighting as it hangs on the fringe of the wild-card race. Guillermo Heredia hit the first home run of his career leading off the third inning and Franklin Gutierrez added a two-run shot in the fifth to pull within 6-4.Seattle missed an opportunity in the sixth inning by leaving the bases loaded. Reliever Mike Morin feell behind 3-0 to Gutierrez, who was given the freedom to swing and popped up to shortstop for the second out.dddddddddddd Robinson Cano then popped out to right field to end the threat.The Mariners finally took advantage of the shaky pitching in the seventh. Jose Valdez (0-1) opened the seventh getting Nelson Cruz, but then issued three straight walks to load the bases. Valdez was called up from the minors on Saturday.He looked good against Cruz. He threw some really good breaking balls but then just lost his release point, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.Leonys Martins sacrifice fly off Guerra pulled Seattle within 6-5 before OMalleys shot.Confidence has gotten into him, Seattle manager Scott Servais said of OMalley. He believes hes a big league player and I think youre seeing it in front of our eyes.BULLPEN PICKUPDrew Storen (2-3) got the final out of the seventh to pick up the victory and Edwin Diaz pitched the ninth for his fourth save.But the star for Seattle was Cody Martin, who pitched 2 2/3 innings in relief of starter Taijuan Walker. Martin allowed only two hits, one of them an infield single.Everybody is having a good time and were like a little family out there, Martin said. We just have a great time during the games.ROSTER SHUFFLEAngels: RHP Tim Lincecum was designated for assignment on Saturday after giving up six runs in the first inning a night earlier. Lincecum was 2-6 with a 9.16 ERA in nine starts with the Angels.Mariners: Seattle made a pair of trades, acquiring Arquimedes Caminero from Pittsburgh and switch-pitcher Pat Venditte from Toronto for players to be named later.

Over his last 15 starts, Shoemaker has a 2.85 ERA.Mariners: James Paxton (3-5) looks to build on his last start when he allowed one run in eight innings against Boston but ended up being left out of the decision.
