Marlins drop Mets into 2nd in NL East

Florida Marlins' Josh Johnson pitches against the New York Mets in the second inning of a baseball game in Miami, Wednesday, July 30, 2008. The Marlins won 7-5, with Johnson getting his first win in almost two years.

Even without Manny Ramirez, the Florida Marlins’ offense is pretty potent. With talk heating up about Florida trading for Ramirez, the Marlins roughed up Mike Pelfrey and tightened the NL East race by beating the New York Mets 7-5 on Wednesday night. Josh Willingham and Jeremy Hermida, both mentioned as part of a possible deal, had two hits apiece for Florida.
