Overview

• Juan Soto hit two home runs, marking his second multi-homer game against the Diamondbacks in a week, and drove in three runs to lift the Mets' offense.
• Kodai Senga rebounded from early control issues, walking five batters in the first three innings, to pitch six scoreless frames and lower his ERA to 1.16.
• The Mets' defense played a pivotal role, with key plays including Francisco Lindor's relay throw to cut down a runner at home and Luis Torrens throwing out a base stealer.
• Merrill Kelly pitched 6 1/3 innings for Arizona, allowing three runs, but his durability remains a concern following recurring hamstring cramps in recent outings.
• The Mets' 7-1 win secured a 2-1 series victory, helping them bounce back from a recent slump and maintain their position atop the NL East standings.
