PHOENIX — The rare combination of Matz and bats convened Saturday night to end a Mets losing streak.
There was Steven Matz with 6 ²/u2083 superb innings, but more startling was the Mets lineup resembling a competent unit, carried by Michael Conforto’s bat. The final product was a 5-1 victory over the Diamondbacks at Chase Field that snapped the Mets’ four-game losing streak.
After scoring three runs or fewer in the previous 11 games, the Mets pounced for four in the first three innings against lefty Patrick Corbin and even added a sixth-inning insurance run.
