Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada tried to play the hero Monday against the Marlins by plating the go-ahead run with an RBI single in the top of the 15th inning, but Miami scored twice in the bottom of the inning to steal a 4-3 win. Tejada collected a season-high three hits in six at-bats.
Tejada is batting .391 (9 for 23) with two RBI, three walks, three doubles and three runs during a six-game hitting streak. He's raised his season average from .210 to .259 during the hitting streak.
