[AZ Central] DBacks’ extend skid to four in a row with loss to New York Mets - Ryan Thompson did not second-guess his pitch selection. Nor did he question the location. The first-pitch sinker he threw to J.D. Martinez in the eighth inning on Thursday night resulted in the go-ahead homer. All Thompson could do was tip his cap. “I just think he was the better man in that spot,” Thompson said. “Really good swing. And a good player. It happens.” The Diamondbacks fell to 25-31. They are in fourth place in the National League West. They are also likely on Friday to place their top starter, Gallen, on the injured list, where he will join the club’s Nos.
