Ketel Marte homered on Jose Quintana’s third pitch of the game, then hit a go-ahead, two-run drive off Jake Diekman in the ninth inning that lifted the NL champion Arizona Diamondbacks over the New York Mets 5-4.

Marte homered twice, doubled, walked and was hit by a pitch, a big reason Arizona headed home with its second straight win over New York following a five-game losing streak that dropped the Diamondbacks seven games under .500. An All-Star in 2019, the switch-hitting Marte is batting .270 with 12 homers, tied with Christian Walker for the team lead, and 32 RBIs, tied for second.
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza decided to have Diekman start the ninth rather than try to extend right-hander Adam Ottavino, who had pitched the eighth, or bring in right-hander Sean Reid-Foley.Marte drove a 2-2 sweeper near the low, inside corner for a 439-foot drive halfway up the center-field batter’s eye for his seventh career multi-homer game — sending the Mets to their sixth loss since May 1 in which they led after the eighth inning.
