Mets vs. D-Backs Game Highlights (5/5/25) | MLB Highlights

You know the word of the night might just be fatigue. One of these teams will have to battle through it and find a way who will it be. We'll find out together game one of the three game series and seven game homestand where the Diamondbacks play host to the New York Mets right hander Ryan Nelson seven relief appearances now making his first start this year. Corbin Burns was sent home early. He would miss this start here tonight with shoulder inflammation. He wanted to pitch through it but they erred on the side of caution. The ball now goes to Ryan Nelson and hopefully Ryan will pick up right where he left off against the Mets in New York. He dealt four great innings in relief of Eduardo Rodriguez in that ballgame. Nothing doing for Soto a little bit like a pitch around there. Big trouble behind it's Pete Alonso the National League Player of the Month last month. R.J. Short Perdomo for one Marte turns it good start for Ryan Nelson Griffin Canning has got a sparkling one loss record. The team has won with him on the mound. Corbin Carroll will lay things off back from a pretty quiet road trip. Carroll swings cranks it out to deep right field and sends Soto back to the track and it's gone bang right off the bat by Carroll. A welcome home for him his tenth of the D-Max out in front one to nothing. That's only the third home run given up all season by Griffin Canning. That's how you start a ballgame right there. A rough beginning for Canning it's the first run he's allowed in the first inning this season to see if Canning has rattled it all by that. It hits it hard and rolls it into right. The home run is single open it up. Three and two on Smith nobody on bottom one swing and a miss. So a strikeout for Canning one away and here's the lefty Josh Naylor get on the ground a second. McNeil has it flips a second for one little bit of a wide throw but Liddell turns it over to first in time to get the slow Naylor and the double play that gets Canning out of the inning at the top of the third inning. Here's Tyrone Taylor Tyrone Taylor drives one of the gap in right center field and that's going to split him and go all the way back to the wall. Taylor has a head of steam around second. He's going to try for three the relay throw to third is not in time. Tyrone Taylor as hot as they come now five for six on this road trip. That's his third triple of the season. Now the Bats will bring their infield in base Francisco Lindor with the tying run at third Lindor swings towering fly ball to not very deep right field Taylor's at third. He's going to try and come in. Here's the throw play at the plate. Got it throws up Tyrone Taylor. Oh what a play by Carol. My work is done here boys. Nelson has now worked seven innings against the Mets this year and allowed no runs and one hit. And so far so good in his first start of the year tonight. Eight straight balls to one Soto to advance once no part of Soto. It's a leadoff walk. Pete has certainly seen Nelson well in the past. He's got three career home runs against him in just nine at Bats. Pete is not a guy that's had great numbers at Chase Field. He's going to try to change that one on an absolutely crushed Amayo to lead the seats and left for Pete Alonso a two run home run. And the Mets are on the board. They lead to one in the fourth. It would have gone farther but it bounced off the moon. Oh my what a monstrous beginning to twenty twenty five for Pete Alonso. What a monstrous home run. That was a bomb. Wow. The season of Pete continues. So Soto has walked twice. Nimmo has walked twice. Here comes Brian Kaplan the pitching coach and try and get Nelson back on track. Oh and to the counter Mark Vientos will dunker into shallow right center. It's going to fall for a base hit for Vientos. Nimmo goes first to third and so the Mets have something working here in the fourth after taking the lead on Alonso's home run. Sixty pitches down for Nelly only thirty three for strike. So he's about 50 percent strikes here. He got him to chase the high heater that time. Second strikeout both in this inning for Nelson Nelson comes set and his two to McNeil is a ground ball weekly hit to second Cattell takes his time gloves tags Vientos. Oh that was a gutsy play but he gets the force out. The inning comes to an end getting trying to win a fifth consecutive start something that no man pitcher has done since Zach Wheeler in twenty eighteen Griffin Canning. He's been really good for the Mets. He was really good coming into the game. He's been really good now. The game has actually started Johnson making his 15th appearance three six ADR a six walks fourteen strikeouts. You get the feeling that we're going to see some more runs before this ballgame is over. Francisco Alvarez deflected the second Marte Barrett play Cattell made a nice play but Naylor couldn't collect it. Yeah slow down and Cattell's got to put something on this throw. Unfortunately kind of locks up Naylor over there at first base got leather on it but just couldn't make the play. Now one out of one. Here's Tyrone Taylor who had a triple to right center back in the third. That's ripped down the left field line and that's going to go all the way to the warning track where it's knocked down by Goriel. Alvarez will have to stop a third and Taylor pulls in its second with his second extra base hit of the day. Second and third one out Francisco Lindor the batter the one guy that couldn't get on that plane after the double header fast enough yesterday was Francisco Lindor. Because you see he has just worn out the Diamondbacks in the couple of years that he's been in the National League. The door three hits in the D-VAC series at Citi Field last week he doubled the. And he rockets this one a deep right field back goes Carroll at the wall. It's out of here. Francisco Lindor nearly splashed it down to the pool. Seventh home run of the year for Lindor and it's five to one New York. Perfect balance beautiful swing that was a thing of beauty when everybody does a little something it's just it's amazing this lineup can do but it can strike fear into the hearts of an opposing pitcher. Soto Rooks went down the line and it's where the corner it's off the fence Soto heads for a second Carroll's throw coming in not in time a bullet off the wall for Soto for a ringing double the fourth in the inning and the third straight extra base hit for New York and Lanzo Rips one in the left for a base hit a piece just on everything got a change up to hit that time Rips his second hit of the day it is forty fifth of the season and the Mets have runners at the corners for Starling Marte hard hit ground ball to second diving Marte has it flips the Cattell or part of a Pernod Moulin on the first double play and the inning is going to come to an end assuming the Mets don't challenge what a brilliant play by Cattell to get the D-backs out of trouble. Daniel Nunez back on the mound. He was a revelation last year as a rookie at age twenty eight before he went down with a forearm strain. So Nunez in his season debut has walked three straight batters and that'll get the tying run to bat and force Carlos Mendoza to bring Reed Garrett into the game coming back. Saw Garrett at Citi Field last week he gave up a home run in the ninth inning and that appeared to home run here ties it up down the two to struck him out got him on the splitter one man down beautiful split trying to get something going. This is after all the game inning. That's been the magic inning so many times for the D-backs. Is ripped on a line to center field that's down for a base hit. It's now five to two. Here's Mr. Grand Slam himself bases full for Gino Gino deep to center Taylor backing up still backing up Gino Suarez makes it a one run game. It's the eighth inning magic again for the Diamondbacks in twenty twenty five Garrett ahead of Moreno one and two and he struck him out got him with a splitter two man down or to score. L will be the eighth man up in the inning and a dangerous hitter right here who's been red hot. They just count for him on two and oh so we're going to pop up foul ground first base side Alvarez toward the front row Hasbro makes the catch and the Mets survive the eight with the lead. Kevin Diaz on for the bottom of the ninth in Arizona. Two balls in a strike and Thomas pulls one on the ground down to first Alonzo handles it Diaz. Thomas is a fast runner. It was a bad toss by Pete. So there's the tie run ahead of Perdomo. Now the runner goes the pitch outside Alvarez is throw. He did hit the left foot before he hit the right foot. After a few of the column the field stands the runners out. He knows he needs to find a way on base. He's going to make Diaz throw him another. Drops it up in the air to left easy play for Nimmo out there. And it's up to Corbin Carroll. Then you got the right guy up right now. Well last August similar spot Corbin Carroll big blow against Diaz and now Carroll that stands between Diaz and locking down this game for the Mets. Oh and two to Corbin Carroll. He struck him out of the ball game it's over. Edwin Diaz locks down the save and the Mets snatch a one run victory in Arizona to snap a two game losing streak.
