NEW YORK -- Christian Arroyo's three-run double snapped a ninth-inning tie Wednesday afternoon as the San Francisco Giants defeated the New York Mets 6-5 at Citi Field.

The win snapped a five-game losing streak for the Giants (12-23), who had not won a game in which they trailed after eight innings in exactly two years -- a stretch of 133 games.

The Mets (16-17) lost for just the fourth time in 12 games.

The Giants trailed 3-2 before five straight batters reached base with one out against Mets closer Jeurys Familia (1-1). Joe Panik drew a walk before New York third baseman Wilmer Flores misplayed a potential double play grounder by Eduardo Nunez. Flores recovered to throw to second, but his attempt was high and drew Neil Walker off the bag.

Hunter Pence's single past a diving Flores scored Panik. A walk to Buster Posey loaded the bases for Arroyo, who doubled to deep left-center field and pumped his fist enthusiastically as Posey raced home with the third run.

Bryan Morris (1-0) tossed 1 1/3 scoreless innings to pick up the win.

The Mets nearly came back in the bottom of the inning, when they collected three hits off Derek Law, including a two-run, two-out double by Flores that came within a few feet of being a three-run homer. Law then retired Kevin Plawecki to earn his second save.

Posey homered leading off the second and singled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Justin Ruggiano in the sixth. Posey, who homered in all three games, joined Arroyo, Ruggiano, Nunez and Nick Hundley with two hits apiece.

Curtis Granderson had an RBI double in the first, Jay Bruce hit a solo homer in the third and pitcher Tommy Milone delivered an RBI single in the fourth. Flores had three hits and Bruce added two.

Milone allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings in his Mets debut.

Giants right-hander Matt Cain yielded three runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings.

NOTES: Mets OF Michael Conforto (hamstring) did not start Wednesday but singled as a pinch-hitter. Conforto batted .343 with six homers and 15 RBIs in his previous 17 games but manager Terry Collins wanted to give him two days to rest a tight hamstring. The Mets are off on Thursday. ... The Giants recalled RHP Reyes Moronta from Double-A Richmond. Moronta takes the roster spot of RHP Mark Melancon (right pronator strain), who was placed on the 10-day disabled list just before first pitch Tuesday.
