Jorge Cantu singled with two out in the ninth to score Emilio Bonifacio, and the Florida Marlins remained unbeaten by defeating the New York Mets, 5-4, on Friday night.

The Mets left 14 runners on base, stranding at least one in every inning.

The one-run margin was the first this year for the Marlins, the only unbeaten team in the majors. They’re 4-0 for the first time in franchise history.

Bonifacio reached on an infield single against Pedro Feliciano (0-1) with one out. Darren O’Day walked Hanley Ramirez, and Cantu singled to left on a 0-1 pitch, with Bonifacio sliding home ahead of the throw. Bonifacio was three for five and is batting .579.
