Mets Edge D-backs 4-3 in Extra Innings

The Arizona Diamondbacks fell 4-3 to the New York Mets in extra innings on Tuesday, blowing a late lead in the series opener.

The D-backs squandered a 3-2 eighth-inning lead as the Mets rallied against Arizona's bullpen. Despite a quality start from Zac Gallen, who allowed just one earned run in five innings, Arizona's offense went silent after scoring in the fifth inning.

The Diamondbacks finished a dismal 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position, stranding opportunities throughout the game. Arizona's struggles continued with anemic offense and late-inning bullpen issues that have plagued the team this season.
