Edwin Diaz blows another big game in Mets’ gut-wrenching loss to Diamondbacks
NY Post
PHOENIX — Edwin Diaz got called for the four-out save Wednesday and sent the Mets into the desert night for a mauling by coyotes.
In a throwback to his bad old days — see May, when his season derailed — Diaz walked the first two batters he faced before surrendering a go-ahead grand slam to Corbin Carroll.
The blast sunk the Mets in an 8-5 loss to the Diamondbacks at Chase Field.
It was a second straight ugly performance from Diaz, who allowed a walk-off homer in the ninth inning to Padres phenom Jackson Merrill on Sunday.
This latest gut punch dropped the Mets four games behind Atlanta in the race for the NL’s third wild card.
“It was a tough loss today,” Diaz said. “We had it. We have got to keep playing baseball and at the end of the season we’ll see where we are.”
