PHOENIX — When Mets Manager Mickey Callaway went to Carlos Gómez, he delivered. Same for Seth Lugo and Robert Gsellman.

Gómez snapped a tie with a pinch-hit double during the Mets' bizarre two-run eighth inning, sending them to a 5-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night.

Lugo and Gsellman each got three outs after Zack Wheeler (5-3) allowed four runs in seven innings. Gsellman recorded his first save of the season.

“Grateful for the opportunity, and got the job done,” Gsellman said.

Lugo and Gsellman got the call because the primary setup man Jeurys Familia and closer Edwin Díaz needed a day off.
