Fans witnessed a whale of a game between the Florida Marlins and New York Mets.

The Florida Marlins did just enough to sneak past the New York Mets, 4-3, at Dolphin Stadium. Florida pitcher Hiroyuki Toba, in particular, had a standout performance. Grant Roberts picked up his 2nd save of the season.

Tony Rodas's at-bat in the bottom of the sixth was significant, coming with the bases loaded and the game tied, 1-1. The Florida designated hitter hit a 2-run single off Randy Knoll to put the Marlins up.

"We had some nice at-bats at the right time," said Marlins manager Craig Harris.

The Marlins now have a record of 85-71.
