PHOENIX — Not even a surprising bullpen blowup could knock the New York Mets off course.
Starling Marte legged out an RBI single — confirmed by a video review — in the 10th inning that helped the Mets move past a blown four-run lead and beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-5 on Friday night.
"We'll take it," Mets manager Buck Showalter said.
Marte's hustle single, scoring Jeff McNeil, was needed after New York's bullpen gave up a 5-1 lead. Arizona's Daulton Varsho hit a game-tying homer with two outs in the ninth, a high flyball to right field off closer Edwin Díaz (1-0) that just cleared the wall.
