The Mets beat the Diamondbacks 5-4 in comeback fashion in the first of a three-game set in Arizona. Zack Wheeler faced off against Jon Duplantier, who was making his first major league start in place of the injured Luke Weaver for Arizona.
Duplantier found himself in trouble in the second when he surrendered a leadoff walk to Michael Conforto and a single to Wilson Ramos to put runners at the corners with nobody out. Todd Frazier then hit a foul ball that clanked directly off the mask of home plate umpire Jim Wolf, forcing him out of the game.
