NEW YORK — Wrong time for Arizona ace Zac Gallen to have one of his worst games all season.
Gallen was hit hard Wednesday night in a damaging loss for the Diamondbacks as Pete Alonso and Mark Vientos powered the New York Mets to a 7-1 victory.
Arizona dropped into a tie for the third National League wild card with Cincinnati, which won 4-3 at Detroit. Miami and San Francisco are both a half-game behind in a crowded race for the final NL playoff spot.
"I just think we're trying to do too much, for sure," manager Torey Lovullo said.
