The Mets obliterated the Diamondbacks by a 9-0 score to complete a three-game sweep of the National League West leaders and win their fifth game in a row.
Believe it or not, the first inning set the tone for the game, as Francisco Lindor tripled and Pete Alonso hit a two-run home run to put the team in front almost immediately. The bottom of the inning helped, too, as the team worked around a leadoff walk issued by Carlos Carrasco in equal parts because of a very nice catch on a pop-up behind home plate by Francisco Alvarez and a successful pickoff by Carrasco himself later in the inning.
