Diamondbacks power past Mets to snap seven-game slide Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - Kelly Johnson hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth and Miguel Montero tacked on a three-run shot later in the frame to help the Diamondbacks snap a seven-game slide with a 9-6 win over the Mets. Montero went 3-for-5 with four RBI to highlight the offensive outburst for Arizona, which had lost four games at home to San Francisco and three straight at Philadelphia coming in. Ian Kennedy (6-8) labored through six innings but still wound up with the win after giving up five runs on three hits and four walks. David Wright had his first multi-home run game at Citi Field, driving in five runs in New York's fourth loss in six games. Raul Valdes (2-3) gave up both homers in the sixth and did not record an out to take the loss behind Mike Pelfrey, who was touched for five runs -- four earned -- on eight hits in 5 2/3 frames. 07/30 22:50:43 ET |
