A.J. Burnett pitched a four-hitter for his second straight complete game, and the Florida Marlins took advantage of Tom Glavine’s wildness to end the Mets’ six-game winning streak with a 5-2 victory yesterday.

The Marlins showed signs of emerging from their offensive funk, getting nine hits – eight singles – in avoiding their first three-game losing streak of the season. They scratched out more runs than they scored in the first two games of the series (three) thanks to four walks by Glavine and some shoddy New York defense.

Burnett beat the team that drafted him for just the second time in 12 starts, improving to 2-5 against the Mets with his second commanding performance in a week. He beat Philadelphia 8-2 on Tuesday, and limited the Mets to one hit over the first five innings before Victor Diaz homered leading off the sixth.

Diaz’s opposite-field drive was the first home run in six games at Shea Stadium this season.

Burnett walked three and struck out five in his 12th complete game, a Marlins record. Livan Hernandez had 11.

Glavine struggled with plate umpire Angel Hernandez’s strike zone as he tried to work the corners, throwing 96 pitches in six innings – only 52 for strikes. Glavine walked one in the Marlins’ two-run first and two more when Florida made it 4-0 in the sixth.

The Marlins could have scored more in those innings, loading the bases with none out in each. In the first inning, Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run single be fore Juan Encarnacion hit a shallow fly to center and Mike Lowell lined into a double play to diving third baseman David Wright.

And in the sixth, Alex Gonzalez hit a sacrifice fly after Jose Reyes was charged with two errors on a grounder that let Encarnacion advance to third. Florida then hit into two easy groundouts, one by Burnett with a drawn-in infield.

Mets fans began chanting “Cairo! Cairo!” for reserve second baseman Miguel Cairo after Kaz Matsui, back in the lineup after not starting for three games with a scratched cornea, botched three straight plays – two tough hops going for hits and a poor throw on a double-play attempt – leading to a Florida run in the third inning.

Marlins reliever Antonio Alfonseca was ejected in the second inning by third-base umpire Charlie Reliford for his reaction to the reversal of a call on Paul Lo Duca’s drive off the left-field wall. After the hit was ruled fair and Lo Duca ended up with a double, Mets manager Willie Randolph asked for Hernandez’s help. The umpires convened halfway down the third-base line and overturned the fair call, sending Lo Duca back to the plate.

Marlins manager Jack McKeon argued briefly with Reliford, then returned to the dugout. Alfonseca, standing just outside the Marlins’ bullpen near the foul line in left, was then ejected. Television replays showed the ball was foul, and focused in on a mark on the wall where the ball hit.

Shea Stadium enjoyed its third sellout crowd of the young season, bringing in 55,667 to the game.
