MIAMI — John Maine took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and the Mets scored four times before Dontrelle Willis retired a batter in a 9–2 win over the Florida Marlins on Wednesday night.

Miguel Cabrera’s sharp single broke up Maine’s bid to become the first Mets pitcher to throw a no-hitter. Three batters later, Joe Borchard hit a two-run homer.

Maine (2–0) struck out seven and walked four in seven innings. Aaron Sele and Aaron Heilman completed the three-hitter.

David Wright, who went 2-for-5, singled in the second inning to extend his career-best hitting streak to 25 games, a franchise record over two seasons for the Mets. Hubie Brooks (1984) and Mike Piazza (1999) share the one-season record of 24 games in a row.

Willis (3–1) failed in his bid to become the first four-game winner in the majors. He allowed 10 hits and eight runs, seven earned, in five innings.

The left-hander fell to 12–2 in April and 11–3 against the Mets.

Carlos Beltran homered and drove in three runs for New York. Jose Reyes went 4-for-6 and scored twice.

Maine allowed only one fly to the outfield before Cabrera lined a single to right-center. The Marlins slugger checked his swing on a 1-2 pitch — a close call that the Mets appealed to first base umpire Laz Diaz.

Cabrera singled on the next pitch, the 90th thrown by Maine.

Among the four major league teams that have yet to throw a no-hitter, the Mets have waited the longest — they began play in 1962. Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, Dwight Gooden and David Cone are among those to throw at least one no-hitter after leaving the Mets.

Maine’s performance came against a team that began the game leading the majors in hitting with a .288 average. He limited St. Louis to one hit in seven innings in his first start of the season April 4.

The crowd of 17,219 was chanting “Let’s Go Mets!” by the fourth batter. Reyes led off the game with a single, and Paul Lo Duca reached on an error by third baseman Cabrera. Beltran hit an RBI single, and Carlos Delgado followed with an RBI double.

Another run scored on a grounder by Wright, who reached when shortstop Hanley Ramirez made an errant throw to first. Moises Alou’s RBI single made it 4–0 before Willis finally retired a batter with his 23rd pitch.

The Mets needed only two pitches in the fourth to score twice more. Lo Duca was hit by a pitch, and Beltran hit his third homer for a 6–0 lead.

Reyes doubled home a run in the fifth and scored on a wild pitch.
