Arizona is 26-9 since the All-Star break as it tries to catch the Los Angeles Dodgers atop the NL West. The D-backs remained three games back.
Sean Manaea matched a season high with 11 strikeouts, Pete Alonso hit a solo homer and the New York Mets won 8-3 on Tuesday night to stop the Arizona Diamondbacks ’ winning streak at six games.Manaea allowed just one hit until the seventh inning, when Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Corbin Carroll homered. The left-hander gave up three runs and four hits over 6 2/3 innings, pitching into the seventh for the fifth time in six starts."I’ve got a lot of confidence in all my pitches," Manaea said.
The D-backs’ defense had a shaky night with two errors."When you put the ball in play, good things happen," Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. "Their defense is going to have to make some plays. We got some breaks, but we continued to put together really good at-bats. With two strikes, we continued to fight."Alonso’s homer leading off the second gave the Mets a 1-0 lead. It was his 28th of the season and first in more than a week.
