The New York Mets faced a critical loss against the Arizona Diamondbacks, falling 8-4 after a late-game grand slam by Corbin Carroll. Despite initially overcoming a 4-0 deficit, the Mets struggled with walks, leading to the defeat.

Manager Carlos Mendoza highlighted the team’s command issues on the mound as a key factor. The Mets now sit 4 games out of the wild card spot, needing other teams to falter to stay in playoff contention.

Outfielder Brandon Nimmo expressed concern over the team's uphill battle, emphasizing the importance of capitalizing on opportunities. The Mets' performance continues to oscillate, and they must rectify their free pass issues to improve their chances for the remainder of the season.
