Wed May 07 04:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Mets Overcome Injury Blow to Defeat Diamondbacks in Late-Night Thriller

**PHOENIX, AZ – May 7, 2025** – The New York Mets edged out the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4 in a late-night game at Chase Field, overcoming a double injury blow to secure the victory. The win halts a two-game losing streak for the Mets.

Before the game, the team announced devastating news: closer AJ Minter will miss the entire season with a torn lat, and outfielder Jesse Winker will be sidelined for up to two months.

Despite the setbacks, Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor led the Mets’ offensive charge. Tonight, David Peterson (2-1, 3.06 ERA) takes the mound for the Mets, aiming for a series win against Zac Gallen (2-4, 4.93 ERA) of the Diamondbacks.

Peterson, despite having the highest ERA among Mets starters this season, has shown consistency, pitching into the sixth inning in four of his six starts. His last outing against Arizona saw him limit the Diamondbacks to one earned run over five innings.

Gallen, meanwhile, enters the game following a strong performance against the Mets last week, where he held them to one run over six innings. However, he’s had a somewhat inconsistent season overall.

Adding to the intrigue, Francisco Lindor is just six home runs away from surpassing Derek Jeter on the all-time home run list for shortstops. Pete Alonso also continues his hot streak, reaching base safely in 17 consecutive games. The Mets currently lead the major leagues in triples with nine.
