Iglesias RBI single in the 9th inning leads the Mets to a 3-2 victory over the Diamondback
PHOENIX (AP) Jose Iglesias drove in Tyrone Taylor , and the New York Mets rallied for a 3-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday. Je se Winker hit a one-out double in the ninth off Justin Martinez (5-5) Marcus Semien Jersey before Taylor entered as a pinch runner. Taylor advanced to third on a flyball to right from J.D. Martinez, and Iglesias ripped a hard grounder up the middle that deflected off the glove of diving shortstop Geraldo Perdomo. The Mets improved to 6-4 over their last 10 games, which is a good record considering theyve faced the Orioles, Padres and D-backs during that span. All three teams are among MLBs best. I know we're good, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. We're up to the competition. The Mets took two of three in the series, cooling off the surging Diamondbacks. Edwin Daz worked the ninth for his 15th save, one day after surrendering a . Daz was aggre sive with his fastball in Thursday's outing, using the heater on 17 of 18 pitches. This team needs me, Daz said. So I've got to be ready every single day. I've got to do my job always. Today was a good one, but I just have to keep it going now. Arizona lost a series for just the second time in the past 17 chances. Mets star Francisco Lindor tied it at 2 with a solo shot in the sixth, driving a changeup down the right-field line for his 28th homer of the season. It came on the 11th pitch of the at-bat after he had fouled off four straight pitches. It also was the latest in an at-bat that the shortstop has ever homered. Diamondbacks right-hander Ryne Nelson gave up two runs, both on homers, over 6 1/3 innings. He has been one of the team's best pitchers over the past month, giving up two runs or le s in four straight outings. It was pretty close to being a good one, Nelson said. Those homers were frustrating and it ended up turning the outcome of the game. I've just got to make better pitches in those spots. I floated a changeup to Lindor and then threw one right into (Pete) Alonso's bat path. Alonso homered in the second for the Mets. It was his 29th of the season and second in three games. Randal Grichuk put the D-backs up 2-1 in the third on a two-run homer that barely cleared the wall in right-center. We had some opportunities offensively to score some runs and couldn't get the big hit, D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said. It happens in this game. We've just got to turn the page. Mets lefty David Peterson had another strong start, surrendering seven hits in seven innings. He struck out four, walked two and picked off two runners at first base. Jos Butt (6-3) got the win after pitching a scorele s eighth. TRAINER'S ROOM Mets: RHP Dedniel Nez was placed on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tightne s.
