Mets Walk-Off in Extra Innings

0:00On April 8th, the New York Mets pulled off another extra inning thriller, beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-3 in 10 innings. Ronnie Mauricio delivered the walkoff hit, a line drive sailing over Wright Fielder Corbin Carroll's head for the win. This one pitted two big free agent pitchers against each other, Freddie Peralta for the Mets and Zach Galen for the D-backs. Mets jumped out early with a two-run lead in the first couple innings thanks to some timely hits and an error. But Arizona clawed back in the fifth and sixth, tying and then taking a three-to-two lead on key singles and a double from Nolan Aronato. Galen kept it close with five solid innings, while Peralta labored before handing off to the bullpen. Mets tied it in the eighth on a rally with singles and a sacrifice fly, then reliever Luke Weaver shut down the decks in the top of the tent. Francisco Lendor started as the ghost runner, got to third, and Mauricio sealed it with two strikes against him. Now the Mets ride a four-game win streak into tomorrow, having played four extra inning games already this season.
