David Wright hit a pair of RBI doubles in his first game in more than two months, and Daniel Murphy also drove in two runs to lead the visiting New York Mets to a 7-6 victory over the Florida Marlins on Friday night.
Wright, in the lineup for the first time since suffering a stress fracture in his lower back May 15, delivered an RBI double in a three-run first inning and knocked in the go-ahead run with a double down the right-field line in the eighth.
Jason Isringhausen pitched a perfect ninth for his 295th career save.
The Mets' Jose Reyes went 2-for-6 to keep his major league-leading batting average at .349.
Florida's Emilio Bonifacio led off the first with a single to extend his career-best hitting streak to 21 games, the longest active streak in the majors.
Mike Stanton and Gaby Sanchez each hit home runs for the Marlins, who have lost four straight and extended their longest losing streak under interim manager Jack McKeon.
New York's Jason Bay sat out a second consecutive game with a tight hamstring.
