Mets Win 8-3, Extend Historic Home Record

The New York Mets continued their strong 2025 season with an 8-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, powered by home runs from Francisco Lindor, Starling Marte, and Pete Alonso. Alonso's homer brought him closer to Darryl Strawberry's franchise home run record and tied him with Ed Kranepool for fifth on the team's all-time RBI list. The Mets scored eight runs between the second and fourth innings, and a spectacular defensive sequence in the fourth, led by Mark Vientos, Lindor, and Tyrone Taylor, drew a standing ovation from the Citi Field crowd. Taylor's fully extended diving catch was a standout moment, while Lindor anchored the Mets' defense throughout the game. Starter David Peterson allowed just one run over five innings, benefiting from the team's strong defense. The victory improved the Mets to 21-9, marking their best 30-game start in 19 years and extending their home record to 13-1, one of the best in MLB history.
