Jake McCarthy got things going with a hit and two steals, Christian Walker followed with a grand slam, and Slade Cecconi had a strong outing
Purveyors of the Diamondbacks and Mets box score today will rightfully focus in on Slade Cecconi's strong pitching line and Christian Walker's grand slam. But it was the long awaited chaos created on the base paths that set up and maintained the momentum in the D-backs' 10-5 victory.
Mark Vientos got Cecconi for a leadoff homer in the fifth, and then Jeff McNeil reached on a swinging bunt. Cecconi got the next two outs, but Torey Lovullo lifted him before he could face Francisco Lindor for the third time. Kevin Ginkel came in and got Lindor to pop out to end the inning. It's this kind of baseball that fans and pundits alike have been wondering if they'd see again this year. The D-backs tacked on two more runs in the 7th, upping their lead to 8-1. Grichuk had an RBI single for his second hit of the game and Eugenio Suarez hit a bases loaded sacrifice fly to right.
The only down note in the game came in the bottom of the 6th, when Ginkel took a 98 MPH line drive off his left knee and crumpled to the ground in obvious pain. He was eventually able to get up and leave the field without assistance, but with a very noticeable limp.
