NY Post: Edwin Diaz blows another big game in Mets’ gut-wrenching loss to Diamondbacks. "Edwin Diaz got called for the four-out save Wednesday and sent the Mets into the desert night for a mauling by coyotes. In a throwback to his bad old days — see May, when his season derailed — Diaz walked the first two batters he faced before surrendering a go-ahead grand slam to Corbin Carroll. The blast sunk the Mets in an 8-5 loss to the Diamondbacks at Chase Field."


ESPN.comThe Mets overcame an early four-run deficit and pushed ahead 5-4 in the sixth on Pete Alonso's sacrifice fly to left field...The Mets trailed 4-0 heading into the fifth but tied the game with a four-run inning. Harrison Bader had the big blow, drilling a two-out, two-run homer to left that made it 4-all. The line-drive shot left Bader's bat at 110 mph."
