In concert with real estate agents, the mantra for Braden Shipley, the starter for the Arizona Diamondbacks Tuesday night was the same.
Location, location, location.
Through a disastrous fifth inning, Shipley’s poor location opened the gates, and the New York slammed through the unattended barrier. If Shipley was the most productive pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks over the past few weeks, he showed mortality. In that fifth, the Mets pushed across four runs and that represented the catalyst for a 7-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks before 20,790 in Chase Field.
The New York victory broke a four-game Arizona Diamondbacks winning streak against the Mets this season.
