The Mets secured a narrow 5-4 victory over the Diamondbacks, aided by timely pitching decisions and offensive firepower. In his season debut, Dedniel Nuñez struggled, walking all three batters he faced, which allowed Arizona to capitalize and close the gap. Griffin Canning earned the win, showcasing a strong outing despite being pulled earlier than expected. The Mets' offense was powered by Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor, who both hit home runs to give New York a comfortable lead. The game shifted dramatically when the Mets brought in closer Edwin Díaz, who effectively sealed the win despite a late challenge from the Diamondbacks.

Carlos Mendoza's bullpen management was critical, especially in the face of Nuñez's struggles. This win is vital as both teams vie for position in a competitive NL race, underscoring the importance of every matchup as the season progresses. With the teams clashing again this week, the Mets hope to maintain their winning form against the Diamondbacks.
