Dbacks vs Mets Recap: Dbacks Dominate Early, Cruise to 7-2 Win

Wednesday night saw the Arizona Diamondbacks visit the New York Mets. The Mets wanted a home win, and Arizona aimed to use strong pitching. They played in New York, and the final score was Arizona 7, New York 2. Early hints showed Arizona would score in the first two innings and then add more later. The Diamondbacks built a big lead with several timely hits, while the Mets managed only a couple of runs. This game mattered because Arizona’s pitching and timely hitting worked together, and New York had trouble stopping big innings from the visitors.

Arizona struck first in the top of the first inning. Eduardo Moreno hit a sacrifice fly that scored Carroll, and Arizona led 1–0. In the second inning the Diamondbacks exploded for four runs. Starters connected with huge hits: Marte singled to score Vargas, then Carroll doubled to center and scored two more runs. Perdomo added a sacrifice fly to make it 5–0. Those early hits showed Arizona’s offense was sharp and aggressive, and their hitters punished mistakes. Meanwhile, Mets starter David Peterson and his defense struggled to stop the rallies, and the visitors took firm control of the game early.

The turning point came in the second inning when Arizona scored four runs. That big inning turned a 1–0 lead into a 5–0 advantage and changed the game’s momentum. New York fought back a bit in the sixth when Baty singled to score Bichette, making it 5–1. Arizona answered in the eighth with Barrosa’s double that scored two runs and pushed the score to 7–1. The Mets added a sac fly in the bottom of the eighth to make it 7–2, but that was too little, too late. Arizona won 7–2, improving their record while New York fell short.
