Minus their closer in addition to their captain, the New York Mets kept rolling right along. Jacob deGrom pitched seven shutout innings, and New York got home runs from Travis d'Arnaud and Wilmer Flores to beat the slumping Miami Marlins 5-4 Saturday night for its seventh consecutive victory. Juan Lagares and Eric Campbell each had an RBI single to help the Mets (9-3) open their home schedule with six wins in a row, equaling the club record set in 1985. The overall winning streak is New York's longest since an eight-game run in June 2010.
