Diamondbacks' Eighth-Inning Surge Falls Short Against Mets at Chase Field

The Arizona Diamondbacks faced off against the New York Mets in a closely contested game at Chase Field, resulting in a 5-4 victory for the Mets. The Diamondbacks now hold an 18-17 record, while the Mets improved to 23-13. Despite a late rally by the D-Backs, they were unable to overcome the Amazins' lead.

Eighth-Inning Rally

The Diamondbacks started strong with an early run in the first inning, thanks to consistent hitting from their lineup. However, their bats went quiet until a resurgence in the eighth inning when they managed to score three runs. This late-game push was highlighted by Corbin Carroll's impressive performance; he hit .500 with one home run and one RBI during this game.

Ketel Marte also contributed significantly with his .333 batting average and solid on-base percentage of .5. Despite these efforts, Arizona's offense struggled overall throughout most of the game due to effective pitching from New York's bullpen.

Mets' Mid-Game Momentum

On defense for Arizona, Ryne Nelson pitched well initially but allowed two earned runs over four innings before being relieved by Juan Morillo who maintained control without giving up any additional runs during his time on mound duty – showcasing why he boasts an ERA of zero so far this season.

In contrast though it was ultimately not enough as Francisco Lindor led New York’s charge offensively scoring twice himself while Pete Alonso added another crucial homerun which helped secure victory despite some shaky moments defensively where they committed one error compared against none made by their opponents today!
