Despite a fine performance by right fielder Mel Almada, the Arizona Diamondbacks suffered a 11-7 loss to the New York Mets. Almada was 4 for 4 with 4 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. New York reliever Vincent Velasquez picked up the win, upping his record to 2-1. Clay Buchholz absorbed the loss. New York has run its win streak to 6 in a row.

New York relied on the hitting of Lamar Johnson to pick up the win. The designated hitter clubbed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put the Mets on top, 7-6. For the game, Johnson had 1 home run and 2 singles in 6 at-bats.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Johnson said. "We did a good job of that today."
