Christian Walker hit a grand slam in the third inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the New York Mets 10-5 on Saturday to stop a five-game losing streak that matched their season high. Arizona, which took a 10-1 lead into the ninth, has scored 19 runs in its last two games after totaling nine in its previous six. “The grand slam really gave us a lift emotionally,” manager Torey Lovullo said.
Ketel Marte hit a leadoff homer and then a go-ahead, two-run shot in the ninth inning that lifted the Arizona Diamondbacks over the New York Mets 5-4 on Sunday for a four-game split. “The team needs me,” Marte said. Brandon Nimmo and J.D. Martinez combined to drive in three runs with consecutive triples in a four-run third against Arizona starter Brandon Pfaadt, but the Mets lost for the sixth time since May 1 when leading after eight innings.
