MIAMI -- With New York Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom coming off a one-hit shutout, Miami Marlins ace Jose Fernandez geared up for a pitching duel Saturday night.Jose knows he has Jacob on the other side of the field capable of throwing zeroes all night, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said.DeGrom didnt blank Miami for long, however. He failed to make it out of the fourth inning, and Fernandez and the Marlins beat the Mets 7-2.DeGrom (6-5) allowed 10 hits and five runs, both season highs, and lasted just 3 2/3 innings in his shortest outing since August.I wasnt very good, deGrom said. Seemingly everything I threw went down the middle, and I paid for it.Giancarlo Stanton homered and had his first four-hit game since 2012, driving in three runs to give Fernandez (12-4) all the support he needed.Fernandez gave up two runs in seven innings to match his career high for victories, achieved in his 2013 rookie season. He also had two hits, hiking his average to .265, and drove in the first run.Even when I was at the plate, I was ready to do whatever it takes to win this game, Fernandez said. Nothing unusual there -- he improved to 26-1 with a 1.47 ERA in 37 starts at Marlins Park.Home Run Derby winner Stanton put Miami ahead to stay in the third inning when he hit a majestic two-run homer off the left-field scoreboard above the 401-foot sign. He added an RBI single in the fourth, and singled in the first and sixth, hiking his average to .241 after a prolonged slump.When asked what he saw from Stanton, deGrom answered with a frown.I saw him hit a ball pretty far over the wall, deGrom said.The right-hander allowed at least two baserunners in every inning he worked, and his ERA rose to 2.73.He didnt have command of any of his pitches, manager Terry Collins said. There were a lot of balls in the middle of the plate, and a lot of balls up. Very uncharacteristic, but you know it happens.DeGrom was throwing only in the low 90s in his final inning, several notches below his norm.He was probably tired, Collins said. Those were stressful innings from the start to when he came out of the game, but no Im not concerned.DeGroms best moment came at the plate, where he doubled to lead off the third, his first extra-base hit since July 2015. He scored on a single by Yoenis Cespedes, and James Loneys sacrifice fly gave the Mets a 2-1 lead.But that was all they managed against Fernandez. He hit 99 mph in the first inning, and his final pitch was a 98-mph fastball to Cespedes for strike three.Christian Yelich led off the Miami third with a single, and Stanton dented the scoreboard with a homer that landed between the words BALLS and STRIKES.I didnt break any lights, Stanton said, so that was good.Stanton went 3 for 3 versus deGrom. Yelich and Adeiny Hechavarria had two hits apiece against the Mets starter.Guys did a really good job with deGrom battling him and making him throw a bunch of pitches, Mattingly said. Weve been good with those type of guys. Its the soft-tossing guys weve had a lot of trouble with.SUZUKI UPDATEMiamis Ichiro Suzuki grounded out as a pinch hitter to end the eighth and remained four hits shy of 3,000.TRAINERS ROOMMets: 1B Lucas Duda (back) visited the team, took swings for the first time since his injury and said he hopes to be ready for a rehab assignment in a couple of weeks. I feel good. Im progressing on the right track, said Duda, who hasnt faced pitching yet.UP NEXTLHP Steven Matz (7-6, 3.56) is scheduled to start Sunday for the Mets in the rubber game of the series against RHP Jose Urena (1-1, 6.23).

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Usain Bolt finally got his party started at the Olympics on Saturday. He put his finger to his lips to ask for quiet at the starting block, rubbed his closely shaved head, crouched down for the start and grinded through an opening round in the 100 meters that was as routine as making the bed.Its always to win, he said. Thats what Im here for.Bolt did just that in a first-round heat that was, typically, entertaining, given the low-pressure semi-sprint that it was.The two-time defending gold medalist got his customary slow start and lumbered out of the blocks -- seventh out of eight in his heat. He trailed heading into the final 25 meters then glanced to his left and measured up Andrew Fisher, a Jamaican who competes for Bahrain and was a body length ahead of him, three lanes over.Not a problem. Bolt put it into third gear -- hes got more for later -- and cruised past Fisher to win the heat in 10.07 seconds.Fisher also made it through to the semifinals and was anything but upset.You know that when youre in line with him, youre in front of others, Fisher said.Typical of an opening day in the 100, there were no real surprises.Justin Gatlin, considered the biggest threat to derail Bolts quest for nine total Olympic golds, won his heat easily and finished with the days best time, 10.01 seconds.Went out there and executed my race in the first round, the American sprinter said. Cruised to the finish line.Bolts Jamaican buddy Yohan Blaake made it through easily, as did Americans Marvin Bracy and Trayvon Bromell and Frenchman Christophe Lemaitre.ddddddddddddTheres going to be some stacked semifinals, but its good, Bolt said of the three races that precede Sunday nights main event. It gets you running and gets you up to speed to go out and run the final.Bolt is a 1-2 favorite to take his unprecedented third straight Olympic title in the 100. His chances of doing that would seem to have as much to do with his health as they do with Gatlin or anyone else lining up against him. Bolt pulled out of his national championships last month with a sore hamstring. Although earlier in the week he conceded he wished hed had more real races under his belt this year, on Saturday he said hes in good form.I felt OK. It wasnt the best start. Felt kind of sluggish. Its the fact that its the morning, said Bolt, who was called to the line at 12:42 p.m. Im not used to running this early at any championship.He saves his best for prime time, and the rest of the field left the stadium with a bit more than 24 hours to ponder what has not been possible: beating Bolt at the Olympics.Once hes in a tight position, he might tense up, said veteran sprinter Churandy Martina. But you never know, because he always shows up at the right time and the right moment, which is these Games. ' ' '
