The Mets secured a commanding victory over the Diamondbacks 8-3 to open this mini-homestand at Citi Field. The Mets put up crooked numbers in back-to-back innings in the second and third to open up an early lead and played impeccable defense behind David Peterson.
The web gems began right away, as Pete Alonso made fantastic diving plays in both the first and second innings to help Peterson bounce back from a 23-pitch first inning for a quick second frame. The bats then got to work in the bottom of the second off Eduardo Rodriguez and most of the damage came with two outs.
