The New York Mets emerged victorious with a 3-1 win against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix on Friday.

This victory marks the Mets' fourth win in their last five games, signaling a positive turn in their season.
Both teams exchanged early scoring with solo home runs in the second inning, credited to Vientos for the Mets and Nolan Arenado for the Diamondbacks. Pitching performances were notable, with Mets reliever Devin Williams earning the win and Tobias Myers notching his first career save. Despite the loss, Diamondbacks starter Ryne Nelson had a strong outing, and reliever Juan Morillo continued his impressive home scoreless streak.
The Mets, who had been tied for the worst record in baseball, have now won their last two series. The Diamondbacks, conversely, are in a slump, having lost 12 of their last 16 contests. Arizona's Ketel Marte was a late scratch from the lineup due to illness.
