The Mets defeated the Diamondbacks by the score of 5-4 tonight at Citi Field.

For a full recap and box score, check out SNY.tv here.

The Least You Should Know:

  • Hisanori Takahashi started for the Mets tonight and pitched very well, allowing just a run in six innings, throwing 112 pitches.
  • With the Mets ahead 2-1 in the seventh, the Diamondbacks plated three runs after loading the bases with nobody out against Bobby Parnell, and took a two run lead.
  • In the bottom of the seventh, David Wright, who went 2 for 4 with three RBI, tied the game at 4-4 with a two run double.
  • The Mets won in their final turn at bat when Jesus Feliciano led off the ninth inning with a triple, and after Jose Reyes flew out, the Diamondbacks walked the bases loaded intentionally to face Carlos Beltran, who drove Feliciano in with a deep flyball to right field.
  • Tonight was the Mets fourth walk off win of the year.

Game Ball:
