Mets Morning News: Ronny!
· Yahoo Sports
Meet the Mets
The Mets beat the Diamondbacks 4-3 in a ten-inning, back-and-forth game. The Mets went up by two runs early by way of a Brett Baty sacrifice fly in the first inning and a Francisco Lindor RBI double in the second. The Diamondbacks came back in the fifth, as Huascar Brazobán allowed all three of the runners he inherited from Freddy Peralta to score. But the Mets came back to tie it in the eighth after Jared Young hit a pinch-hit sacrifice fly, and they won when Ronny Mauricio hit an RBI single in the tenth inning, his first at-bat since returning to the major leagues.
