(AZ Central) Arizona Diamondbacks hammered by NY Mets, drop 3 of 4 in series
After winning Monday’s series opener, the Diamondbacks had a 1 1/2-game lead for a wild-card spot and with three more games remaining against the fourth-place Mets they appeared to have a golden opportunity to bank victories.
It did not play out that way. Not only did their starters leave them with sizeable deficits each of the past three days, the offense mustered next to nothing, extending what has been a week-long stretch of tepid production.
