In the 17th minute Bastia were ahead after Rincon put through his own net, but Marcos equalised after 26 from a corner.
Troyes pushed to go ahead and Marcos went close with another header on 30 minutes but it went wide.
Bastia were back ahead before half-time when Anthony Modeste struck from a Khazri assist on 37 minutes.
Marcos grabbed his second and another equaliser just after half-time from the penalty spot after Jeremy Choplin was booked for a foul.
Fabrice N'Sakala then saw red for the away side after a second yellow before Thiago also got sent off on 68, giving away a penalty in the process.
However, Modeste missed from the spot and the score remained 2-2.
Bastia finally managed to make their advantage count with two minutes on the clock as Toifilou Maoulida found the net from a header.
