PHOENIX — David Peralta hit a pair of solo homers, Matt Koch pitched six effective innings in a combined four-hitter and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Mets by a score of 6-3 on Thursday night.
Amed Rosario’s solo homer off Archie Bradley pulled the Mets within a run in the eighth inning. But Peralta, who homered off Jason Vargas (2-5) in the fourth inning, hit his 14th of the season off Jacob Rhame in the bottom half of the eighth to extend Arizona’s lead.
Koch (5-3) gave up solo homers to Brandon Nimmo and Michael Conforto, but only one other hit.
