NEW YORK — Yoenis Cespedes hit a tiebreaking, two-run double off Fernando Rodney in the eighth inning, and the New York Mets overcame a six-run deficit to beat the Miami Marlins 8-6 Monday and extend their winning streak to five.

Miami took a 6-0 lead against Matt Harvey, who lasted 32/3 innings in his second straight early exit and made a throwing error that led to three runs. But the Mets scored in every inning from the fourth through the eighth and overcame two calls that originally went their way but were overturned upon video review.

Travis d’Arnaud and Curtis Granderson started the comeback with solo homers off Tom Koehler. Jeurys Familia pitched the ninth for his major league-leading 29th save, converting his 45th consecutive regular-season opportunity dating to last August.

CUBS 10, REDS 4: Trounced by the team that swept them out of the NL Championship Series last fall, Chicago got back to business as Kris Bryant hit his NL-best 24th home run, Willson Contreras and Addison Russell also went deep as the Cubs won big at home.

Playing the NL Central’s last-place team was just what the major league-leading Cubs needed after getting outscored 32-11 in a four-game sweep by the Mets in New York.

PIRATES 4, CARDINALS 2: Gregory Polanco homered twice and Jonathon Niese turned in his best start in almost a month in leading Pittsburgh to a win at St. Louis.
