slugger Juan Soto was placed on the injured list<\/a>, laced an 0-2 pitch from Paul Sewald (0-2) over the head of right fielder Corbin Carroll to drive in automatic runner Francisco Lindor from third base with one out.<\/p>\nMauricio threw off his helmet and ran into center field before being caught by teammates, who swarmed him and doused him with water on a windy day at Citi Field.<\/p>\n
It was the first big league plate appearance this year for Mauricio, sent to the minors late in spring training. Once a highly rated prospect, he made his major league debut in September 2023 and spent significant chunks of last season stuck on New York’s bench after returning from a knee injury that sidelined him for all of 2024.<\/p>\n
Luke Weaver (1-0) pitched a perfect 10th for the Mets, who played their third consecutive extra-inning game at home. New York beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2 in 11 innings on March 28 and lost 4-3 in 10 innings the next day.<\/p>\n
Pinch-hitter Jared Young tied it 3-all for the Mets with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. Brett Baty had a sac fly in the first, and Francisco Alvarez scored an inning later on Carroll’s throwing error following Lindor’s double.<\/p>\n
Adrian Del Castillo’s tying, two-run single one pitch after his ABS challenge overturned an inning-ending strikeout highlighted a three-run fifth for the Diamondbacks. Nolan Arenado followed with an RBI double.<\/p>\n
Arenado went 2 for 5 in his first multihit game for Arizona, which acquired him from the St. Louis Cardinals in January.<\/p>\n
Mets starter Freddy Peralta gave up three runs in 4 2\/3 innings. Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen allowed two runs (one earned) in five innings.<\/p>\n
The game began at 4:10 p.m., three hours earlier than originally scheduled due to a cold forecast. The temperature at first pitch was 50 degrees.<\/p>\n

Diamondbacks RHP Ryne Nelson (0-1, 5.79 ERA) opposes LHP David Peterson (0-1, 4.66) in the middle game of the series Wednesday.<\/p>\n
