Wilmer Flores delivered the game winning RBI-single in the bottom of the eleventh as the Mets rallied for an wild extra-inning 4-3 comeback win over the Blue Jays after New York blew its own lead in the ninth.

Noah Syndergaard was in line for his third win of the year after striking out eleven against two hits, two walks and one run over six-innings. That run came off a Jose Bautista homer in the first. Bautista then spoiled the night for Syndergaard again in the ninth, lining a game tying solo homer just above the left field wall off Mets closer Jeurys Familia.

Toronto - riding an eleven game winning streak - pushed ahead in the top of the eleventh with a walk, single and sacrifice fly off reliever Hansel Robles.

But in the bottom of the inning, a 3-2 two-out pitch to Lucas Duda was perfectly flopped off the slugger's bat and landed in no-man's land. The count gave Michael Cuddyer a running start and with the Jays aligned in a shift against the pull hitting Duda, the bloop single into left landed so far away from the defense that Cuddyer was able to score all the way from first. Duda advanced on the throw to home, then scored on Flores' game ending single up the middle.

The win is New York's fourth in five games and bumped them to 1.5 games up on the Nationals for the NL East lead.
