The New York Mets were a strike away from being shut out in Arizona, but rookie catcher Francisco Alvarez's homer was the start of a wild comeback.
Francisco Alvarez, #4 of the New York Mets, reacts after hitting a solo home run against the Arizona Diamondbacks during the ninth inning at Chase Field on July 5, 2023 in Phoenix. The Mets won 2-1.
The Mets' bullpen has been atrocious all season long without Edwin Diaz, but they were not letting this one go. David Robertson, a lone bright spot in the Mets' pen, relieved Kodai Senga after eight innings of four-hit, 12-strikeout ball and shut the Diamondbacks down in order to secure the win. He added,"It’s really the adrenaline that heightens that moment for me. That’s my favorite part of the game. When that game’s on the line, I’m not afraid of failure. I’m comfortable."It can be argued that the Mets are the most disappointing team not only this season, but maybe of all time. They boast the highest payroll in North American sports history at $346 million with a rotation led by two future Hall of Famers in Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer.
