The New York Mets faced a disappointing defeat against the Arizona Diamondbacks, bringing their record to 21-10. A narrow ninth-inning effort fell short, compounded by the Philadelphia Phillies' win against the Washington Nationals, narrowing the Mets' divisional lead to 3.5 games. Adding to their woes, relief pitcher Danny Young has been placed on the injured list with a potential Tommy John surgery looming due to an elbow injury sustained in a previous game. The news could sideline Young for the remainder of the season and beyond.
