Mets Aim to Stay Explosive Against Diamondbacks

After a record-setting performance, the New York Mets return home Tuesday night to host the Arizona Diamondbacks, looking to keep their bats alive in the series opener.

Nimmo Leads Mets’ Offensive Breakout

Brandon Nimmo tied a franchise record with nine RBIs in Monday’s 19-5 blowout win over the Washington Nationals, delivering damage across three at-bats from the sixth to eighth innings. Nimmo launched a three-run homer, followed it with a grand slam, and capped it off with a two-run double.

Peterson Set for Mets; Rodriguez for D-backs

New York will send David Peterson (1-1, 3.29 ERA) to the mound. Peterson was solid in his last outing against the Phillies, allowing two runs over 5 1/3 innings.

Meanwhile, Arizona counters with Eduardo Rodriguez (1-2, 4.40 ERA). Rodriguez gave up four runs over 6 2/3 innings in a no-decision against Tampa Bay last week. The lefty has found moderate success against the Mets in his career, sporting a 1-0 record and a 3.57 ERA in three starts.

Peterson, however, owns a 5.21 ERA across five career starts versus Arizona.

Diamondbacks Eye Consistency

The Diamondbacks snapped a three-game skid with a 6-4 win over the Braves on Sunday, avoiding a sweep. Arizona’s lineup showed flashes over the weekend, highlighted by Eugenio Suarez’s historic four-homer game on Saturday and strong showings from Josh Naylor and Corbin Carroll.

“We’re a good baseball team,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. “I feel like we could — instead of going 2-4 — we could have gone 4-2 on this homestand very easily. That’s my standard.”

Solid bullpen work Sunday from Shelby Miller, Ryan Thompson, and Justin Martinez provided some late-inning stability, a positive sign moving into the series against the Mets.
