Overview
- Ronny Mauricio delivered a pinch-hit walk-off single in the 10th inning Tuesday at Citi Field, giving the Mets a 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.
- Carlos Mendoza’s bench and bullpen choices proved key as Jared Young tied it with an eighth-inning sacrifice fly and relievers Devin Williams and Luke Weaver finished five scoreless innings.
- Arizona’s three-run fifth hinged on MLB’s new automated ball-strike (ABS) challenge system when Adrian Del Castillo overturned a called strike three and then lined a two-run single before Nolan Arenado doubled.
- Mets starter Freddy Peralta needed 101 pitches to get 14 outs and left with the bases loaded, and Huascar Brazobán allowed all three inherited runners to score.
- In Miami, Sandy Alcantara exited at 95 pitches in the ninth, Anthony Bender’s wild pitch tied the game, and the Reds scored four in the 10th — sparked by Nathaniel Lowe and Matt McLain — as Alcantara later said he wanted to be asked to finish.
