Another blown save in the 9th inning costs the Mets the game
Edwin Diaz has now blown 4 saves in his last 6 outings
Edwin Diaz blew his second save in as many nights as the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for a 5-3 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night.
The Mets had taken a 3-2 lead in the top of the ninth inning on a sacrifice fly by Pete Alonso, but the Diamondbacks tied the game in the bottom of the inning on a double by Ketel Marte.
With runners on first and second, Carson Kelly hit a ground ball to first base that Diaz fielded and threw home. The throw was late, however, and Marte scored the winning run.
The loss dropped the Mets to 25-24 on the season, while the Diamondbacks improved to 23-26.
Diaz has now blown 4 saves in his last 6 outings. He has a 4.74 ERA in 23 appearances this season.
The Mets have lost 4 of their last 5 games.
