MIAMI -- After three quiet days at the plate, the Mets are headed back to New York with a bang, in large part thanks to their leadoff hitter.

Francisco Lindor opened the four-game set Friday with his fourth consecutive game with two walks. He finished the series Monday -- in the same place that, in May, the Mets decided to bump him up to the No. 1 spot -- with his second multihomer game of the season.

Lindor’s two home runs were just a fraction of the Mets’ offense as they pulled off a 6-4 win over the Marlins to split the four-game set at loanDepot park.

It helped that the Mets showed some early restraint at the plate against Miami starter Yonny Chirinos, who walked four batters. Jeff McNeil set the tone in the second inning with a two-run homer after DJ Stewart worked a walk to lead off the frame. In the fifth, a pair of walks and a single loaded the bases to open the inning before Jose Iglesias was hit by a pitch, bringing home a run.

Meanwhile, Lindor’s first homer -- his first long ball of the second half -- capped a two-run fourth. Leading off the inning, Iglesias took a risk turning a surefire double into a triple. But, to Iglesias’ relief, the throw to third wasn’t close to the bag and he slid in safely. He easily trotted home on a sac fly from McNeil in the next plate appearance.

Then, Lindor -- who had walked in his previous plate appearance before swiping second as part of a double steal -- cranked his 18th homer of the year to right field. The long ball gave the Mets some room for error, as the Marlins scored single runs in the fifth, seventh and ninth.

Lindor gave the Mets a much-needed insurance run to open the ninth inning, swatting an 86.6 mph slider from reliever JT Chargois into the Marlins’ bullpen in left field.
