MIAMI -- Although Marcell Ozuna had his 16-game hitting streak snapped on Saturday, the 22-year old rookie bounced back in a big way on Sunday. Ozuna had three hits, including a double and a triple, and drove in four runs to help the Miami Marlins complete a three-game sweep over the New York Mets with an 11-6 win on Sunday. "Im feeling great," Ozuna said. "Everything is going good. Whenever I cross the (white chalk) line, I am trying to help the team." Greg Dobbs hit a three-run home run, and Ed Lucas and Chris Coghlan each had four hits and two RBIs for the Marlins, who tied a season-high with 16 hits and swept the Mets in Miami for the first time since May 28-30, 2004 outscoring the Mets 24-8 in the series. "The last three games have been pretty fun to watch," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "Its a different atmosphere (in the clubhouse) and definitely guys turned it up the last three days and hopefully we can keep it going." It was the first sweep for Miami since taking three from Philadelphia from June 29-July 1, 2012. "Its tough to sweep any series in the big leagues," Redmond said. Ike Davis homered and drove in three runs, and Lucas Duda and Omar Quintanilla also hit homers for New York, which came to Miami on a five-game winning streak including a four-game sweep over the Yankees. "Getting swept is not fun especially after sweeping the Yankees and feeling pretty good and then get our butt beat," Davis said. Mets starter Matt Harvey had a 1.85 ERA coming into the game, but battled through five innings allowing season-highs in hits (10) and runs (four) in his shortest start of the season. He walked five and struck out two. "That was certainly not the Matt Harvey that we know and accustomed to seeing," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "He had to work very, very hard even to get five innings in." "Im not happy about the start at all," Harvey said. "There are very slight amount of positives that I take from today. Ive got to be better and move on. ... Im excited to face them again on Friday." Still, Harvey left the game with a 6-4 lead and was relieved by Scott Rice (3-4), who issued three consecutive walks with one out in the sixth. Ozuna took advantage of Rices lack of control with a two-run double to left to tie the game at 6-all. "I thought I made a good pitch, but he was able to go down and get it," Rice said. "I looked at the replay on it, the pitch was down, he just dug it out and you tip your cap I guess. He got me." Coghlans RBI groundout gave the Marlins a 7-6 lead after leading 3-0 and 4-1 earlier in the game. "After we got the lead, I think when they got it right back, it was kind of deflating part of the game," Collins said. Lucas, who made his Major League debut on Thursday after 10 years in the Minors, had an RBI double before Dobbs hit a three-run homer in the eighth to cap the scoring for the Marlins. "Its been an unbelievable ride thus far," Lucas said. Kevin Slowey started for Miami and allowed six runs in 4 1-3 innings. Wade LeBlanc (1-5) pitched 1 2-3 scoreless innings in relief for the win. After the game the Marlins announced that LeBlanc will be designated for assignment on Monday. Ozuna, who went 0 for 3 on Saturday ending the Majors longest hitting streak, hit a two-run triple in his first at-bat. Coglan followed with a bloop double to score Ozuna for an early 3-0 lead. Dudas 10th home run of the season cut the deficit to 3-1. Lucas had an RBI single in the second to push the Marlins lead to 4-1. Quintanillas solo home run pulled the Mets within a run before Davis hit a two-run home run to centre field to tie the game at 4-all in the fourth. After LeBlanc relieved Slowey, Marlon Byrd and Davis delivered back-to-back RBI singles to give the Mets a 6-4 lead. NOTES: Harveys previous shortest start also came against the Marlins when he allowed one run in 5 1-3 innings at Miami on April 29. ... Mets LHP Jonathon Niese (shoulder) is expected to re-join the starting rotation on Saturday if his bullpen session goes well on Tuesday. ... After the game the Marlins optioned OF Jordan Brown to Triple-A New Orleans and 1B Casey Kotchman (hamstring) will be reinstated from the 60-day disabled list on Monday. "Ill be excited to put this uniform on and play," Kotchman said. In addition, LHP Edgar Olmos will be recalled from Double-A Jacksonville to replace LeBlanc. ... Miami will send RHP Tom Koehler (0-3, 3.22 ERA) to the mound against the Phillies RHP Kyle Kendrick (5-3, 3.27 ERA). ... The Mets are off on Monday and will begin a three-game series at Washington on Tuesday with RHP Jeremy Hefner (1-5, 4.74 ERA) on the hill against RHP Jordan Zimmermann (8-3, 2.37 ERA).

It will be of little consolation to an England team smarting from defeat in the short term but, in years to come, when they look back on this match, they may reflect with some gratitude that they were involved in one of the more compelling Tests of recent times.Four days of enthralling cricket, featuring patches of brilliance, moments of awfulness and several shifts in the balance of power were watched by full houses who applauded the achievements of both sides. In a country that has been divided and against a team that, on their last visit, made few friends, it was a hugely encouraging, restorative experience. In the grand scheme, these things matter a great deal more than results.Pakistan didnt just beat England: they charmed their supporters with their flair and joy. Responding to dropped catches and near misses with smiles, they demonstrated outrageous skills at times - Yasir Shah and Wahab Riaz, in particular, were wonderful on the final day - as well as unity and good humour. They may have left Lords in 2010 in disgrace. But their rehabilitation is complete. They are impossible not to like and admire.But while it is no disgrace to lose to such a side - a side who may well have the best bowling attack in Test cricket - England will know that their batting let them down in this match. Not for the first time, their vulnerability was exposed but this time, with no Ben Stokes and both Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root pushed a place up the order, they lacked the depth to rebuild. It has been an accident waiting to happen for some time.Alastair Cook called the batting naive. Reasoning that England were 100 runs light in their first innings, he blamed poor shot selection for his teams low totals and admitted frustration at losing six wickets to legspin on a first-innings pitch offering Yasir Shah little assistance.It was a 350 or 400 wicket, Cook said. So for a legspinner to get a six-for on day two is frustrating. We allowed Yasir to get six wickets when he wasnt turning the ball. It cost us.We played too many bad shots. There was some poor shot selection and we played some na?ve shots at times. Nobody scored a hundred for us in this game and you dont win too many games when you dont score hundreds.Perhaps the key moment - and certainly one of the defining moments - of the game came when England were well-poised at 118 for 1 in their first innings. With the opportunity to build an imposing first innings, Root attempted a slog-sweep and top-edged the ball to midwicket. Englands inexperienced middle-order was exposed and what could have been a first-innings lead became a deficit.It was a moment that goes a long way to summing up the current character of this England side. They are inventive and brave, for sure. And when it comes off, they are a joy to watch.But they are also, as Cook put it, naive. While the best sides show a ruthlessness to shut opposition out of the game,, England are still struggling to find the balance between the positive cricket that reflects the natural style of their game and the disciplined cricket that characterises the best sides.dddddddddddd Instead of seeing off bowling and accumulating, there is still a tendency to try to hit bowlers out of the attack. It was demonstrated again in the second innings. Root, ignoring the man placed for the stroke, fell pulling, Alex Hales went cutting and Moeen Ali was bowled after he skipped down the pitch to his fourth ball and attempted to hit Yasir back over his head. It was oddly reckless batting for a side that had almost 180 overs to score 283.While Gary Ballance looked reassuringly solid in contributing 43, James Vinces streaky 42 was less convincing. As well as being dropped on 9, the result of reaching for a drive well outside off stump, he survived a sliced drive off Yasir that flew just over point and another edge of Wahab that passed between slip and gully.Though his cover drive is pleasing, his inclination to play it against the swinging ball with limited foot movement is not. He is likely to win another chance at Old Trafford but, bearing in mind he has also dropped four chances (albeit tough ones), he might consider himself fortunate to be playing under the current selection regime.Despite the batsmen letting England down, it will probably be two bowlers who are dropped for Manchester. Steven Finn and Jake Ball are the most vulnerable as England look to make space for the return of James Anderson (whose absence here is a red herring; England lost because of weak batting not the absence of another good swing bowler) and Stokes.While there may be some concern about including two men coming back from injury in a four-man seam attack, the return of Stokes would lengthen the batting order. Chris Woakes emergence means there is no need to hurry him, though. Adil Rashid may also replace Moeen, or perhaps join him in the squad.Another option would be to select a solid top-order batsman in the mould of Cook. With the selectors unlikely to go back to Nick Compton - who is expected to return to cricket with Middlesex in the next few days - there might be some wisdom in looking to Sam Robson, who has been one of the most impressive batsmen in county cricket this season. That would allow Hales to move to No. 3 and Root back to No. 4 and provide a little of the ballast that England seem to be missing.It is unlikely to happen, though. This England team appears so committed to picking positive players and playing aggressive cricket, that it is in danger of overlooking players who might help provide the best chance of winning. The flair of Root et al is wonderful, but only if it is tempered by a bit of restraint and patience will it be fulfilled. ' ' '
