In a season full of heartbreaking losses, the New York Mets managed to deliver yet another one Sunday, as lefty reliever Jake Diekman allowed a go-ahead
The Mets lost to the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4 thanks to a go-ahead two-run homer by Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte. two-run homer to Ketel Marte in the ninth inning to turn a 4-3 Mets lead into an eventual 5-4 Diamondbacks victory.
“I don’t feel I’ve executed well enough in certain situations,” Diekman said. “The homer, if it’s two more inches in, it might be a swing and miss, it might be a double down the line and they only score one, so that’s different. I like how everything moved today. It was just the execution.” The Mets entered Sunday’s game with just two triples on the season, including one by Starling Marte Friday, before Nimmo and Martinez hit back-to-back triples. For Martinez, 37, it was the 24th triple of his career. He had two last season with the Dodgers.
Quintana allowed a leadoff homer to Ketel Marte in the first. Two batters later, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., who was a late scratch from Saturday’s game due to flu-like symptoms, hit a bomb of his own. After a leadoff walk and double in the second, Dbacks shortstop Kevin Newman drove in a run on a groundout, but Quintana managed to limit the damage, stranding two runners in the inning.
“I thought battled, but 84 pitches through four innings, he had to work,” Mendoza said. “I think he was at times maybe a little bit too fine and they made him work.”
