The New York Mets and Arizona Diamondbacks meet Tuesday in Major League Baseball action at Chase Field. Arizona is 16-8 at home and 5-1 in its last six games against the scuffling Mets following a 7-3 win on Monday night.
"We'd been a little dormant with our offense", Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. "It was nice to get those runs at the end there". The Diamondbacks have also taken 14 of 19 at home when facing opponents with a losing record.
Zack Wheeler delivered a strong performance for the Mets.
Tomas snapped a 1-all tie with a three-run homer off Hansel Robles (4-1).
"Tomas had a great at-bat, and then we were able to put up a couple more", Mathis said. "If you overexpose [relievers] by going two innings, that is when you are going to run into those problems". "We don't have a lot of options". NY has dropped five consecutive games - one shy of its season-worst slide - and has allowed a whopping 42 runs during the stretch. This was the fifth straight game in which the injury-depleted Mets allowed four or more runs in an inning. He struck out 11 in eight innings and carried a no-hit bid into the eighth in his best start in a D'backs uniform. An umpire review overturned the call when replays appeared to show the ball hitting the yellow line below the batter's eye in center field, which is in play.
Milone allowed two runs and six hits in a five-inning no-decision against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday in his first outing with the Mets. Brandon Drury then doubled and scored on the Mathis homer, and Robles was done. Descalso followed with a pinch-hit shot off Josh Edgin. "We've certainly got to take a good, hard look at where he's going to fit because he's got a good arm and we've seen him pitch well here". He allowed a run on seven hits and struck out six in six-plus innings. "But I battled through some tough innings with walks, and the defense played outstanding behind me again".

He said Trump discussed a range of subjects with the Russians, including "common efforts and threats regarding counter-terrorism". Throughout the 2016 campaign, Trump slammed Hillary Clinton for storing classified information on her private email server.
He earned another start as the No. 5 man in the rotation, Lovullo said.
7 struggles: For the 15th straight game, a Mets starter failed to go seven innings.
Mets starters have gone 15 consecutive games without getting an out in the seventh inning. NY tried to set up a comeback victory scoring three runs in the ninth.
Rene Rivera not only gave the Mets their only hit and run off Diamondbacks starter Zack Godley, but the catcher got Mets starter Zack Wheeler through six innings despite a 108-pitches.

Outfielder A.J. Pollock was placed on the 10-day DL with a right groin strain. "It is what it is", Lamb said of being without Pollock.
