From the outset, the Diamondbacks showed their intent to dominate. Their hitting statistics were notable; they amassed a total of 11 hits throughout the game. The third inning was particularly explosive for Arizona as they scored four runs off two hits, setting an early tone for their offensive prowess. This momentum was further bolstered in both the sixth and seventh innings where they added two runs each time, thanks to another two hits per inning.


The Diamondbacks' performance on base was equally commendable. They managed to steal four bases over the course of the game while maintaining a perfect stealing percentage. Their discipline at bat was evident from their five walks and only thirteen strikeouts against them.

On the pitching side, Kevin Ginkel emerged as a key player for Arizona by clinching his third win of the season after coming out from bullpen where he contributed significantly towards stifling any potential comeback from New York Mets in later innings.


Despite facing challenges from New York's hitters who managed twelve hits and scored five runs - four of which came dramatically in the ninth inning - Arizona's defense held strong without committing any errors throughout nine innings. This defensive solidity ensured that any efforts by New York were effectively contained and did not translate into substantial threats.

The Mets' attempt to rally was highlighted by Sean Manaea’s effort on mound; however, it wasn't enough to counteract Arizona's aggressive batting lineup and strategic plays which ultimately led them towards this victory.


Looking ahead, fans can anticipate another exciting matchup as The Diamondbacks are scheduled to face The Mets once again at Citi Field in Flushing Queens on June 2nd at 1:40 PM local time (Eastern Time Zone).
