NEW YORK, July 18 (UPI) -- Clay Hensley and four relievers handcuffed the Mets on three hits Monday and the Florida Marlins posted a 4-1 victory over New York.

Mike Dunn and Edward Mujica combined for four innings of one-hit ball and Leo Nunez corralled his 27th save for the Marlins, who were playing a make-up game for a contest that was rained out in May.

Mike Stanton broke a scoreless tie with a two-run double in the fourth inning, putting the Marlins ahead for good.

New York's Chris Capuano (8-9) was touched for all four runs on seven hits in a 7 2/3-inning start.

Jason Bay drove in the Mets' only run with a ninth-inning sacrifice fly.
