Disappointing Loss Against the Mets
Well, this wasn't the game we expected, D-backs fans. The Mets came out strong and ultimately overpowered us with an 8-3 victory. Let's break down what went down at Chase Field.
Rough Start and Costly Errors
Things started going south pretty quickly. In the third inning, Pete Alonso hammered a homer to right-center, putting the Mets up 1-0. It seemed like we couldn't catch a break as an error by Kevin Newman allowed the Mets to extend their lead. By the end of the 5th inning, the score ballooned to 8-0 in favor of the Mets after some critical mistakes and strong hitting.Glimmer of Hope in the 7th
Finally, some life in the 7th inning!
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a solo homer to left, giving us our first run. Not long after, Corbin Carroll launched a two-run homer to center, bringing Josh Bell home with him. The score closed to 8-3, but unfortunately, that was as close as we got.Missed Opportunities and Strikeouts
Despite the spark in the 7th inning, our offense just couldn't get it going. We struck out 15 times! Geraldo Perdomo had a particularly tough day, striking out three times. We had some chances but couldn't capitalize—a common theme this game.What's Next
It's certainly a tough loss, but there's always the next game. We'll need to clean up our errors and get those bats going earlier. Let's stay hopeful and keep supporting our team, no matter what. Let's go Diamondbacks!
