Game Preview
The Arizona Diamondbacks have surged to become the top team in the majors, crossing the .500 mark on July 12 and sustaining strong performance since then. On Tuesday night, they will look to extend their lead to 20 games above .500 as they open a three-game series against the New York Mets in Phoenix.
Currently on a hot streak with 24 wins in their last 30 games, the Diamondbacks are poised to face off against the Mets before hosting a four-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Arizona is just three games behind the Dodgers in the National League West and is leading the race for the NL wild card.
Reflecting on their journey and prospects, Arizona’s right-hander Merrill Kelly voiced confidence in the team’s capabilities, emphasizing the internal belief in their potential to surpass last year’s playoff run that led them to the World Series. "The only opinions that matter about our team are the ones from within our clubhouse. We are aware of our strength and are poised to achieve something extraordinary," Kelly stated.
Arizona has maintained momentum with its second six-game win streak this month, recovering from three consecutive losses to the Tampa Bay Rays by clinching the next six games of their road trip. This included sweeping the Miami Marlins and Boston Red Sox, with Eugenio Suarez significantly contributing with eight hits, two home runs, and 10 RBIs against Boston. After a tough start to the season, Suarez has improved dramatically since July.
The New York Mets, on the other hand, are facing challenges as they trail the Atlanta Braves by 2.5 games for the last wild-card spot. They recently split a four-game series with the San Diego Padres. The series ended disappointingly for the Mets as they lost a crucial game to the Padres with late-game homers in the eighth and ninth innings.
Despite the setback, Mets outfielder J.D. Martinez and manager Carlos Mendoza remain optimistic, with Mendoza remarking on the high intensity and competitive nature of the recent series, likening it to playoff conditions.
The pitching matchup for Tuesday’s game features Sean Manaea for the Mets against Arizona’s Eduardo Rodriguez. Manaea, who has a mixed record against Arizona, hopes to overturn a previous loss to them earlier this season. Meanwhile, Rodriguez is back for his fourth start after recovering from injuries, carrying a promising record against the Mets.
This upcoming series presents a critical juncture for both teams as they push towards the playoffs, with key players on both sides ready to make their mark.
