The New York Mets beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-1 tonight in 10 innings at Chase Field and improved their record to 15-23.

After a scoreless top of the first, 1B Mark Vientos drove in the first run of the game with a solo homer in the top of the second.

The Met offense did not do much for the next seven innings  managing only three hits, but woke up in the top of the tenth.

Vientos led off and came through once again with the game-winning RBI double on the first pitch he saw.

CF Carson Benge followed with a RBI ground-rule double to score Vientos for a much needed insurance run.

RHP Nolan McLean had a solid outing outside of allowing a solo homer to 3B Nolan Arenado in the bottom of the second and shut down the Diamondbacks offense after that. McLean finished up strong with two strikeouts in the bottom of the sixth and was taken out after the inning.

His final line was six innings, three hits, one run, one walk and strikeouts.

RHP Luke Weaver followed with a scoreless bottom of the seventh.

LHP Brooks Raley came in next and threw a scoreless bottom of the eighth.

RHP Devin Williams threw a scoreless bottom of the ninth with a 1-2-3 inning on 8 pitches to pick up second win of the season.

RHP Tobias Myers came on in the bottom of the tenth and closed out the game with a 1-2-3 inning on 10 pitches with two strikeouts to pick up his first save.

The Mets next game is tomorrow night, Saturday, May 9 at the Diamondbacks at 7:15 p.m.
