Sat May 10 03:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Diamondbacks Shut Down Mets, Gallen Dominates in 5-1 Victory

**PHOENIX, AZ –** Zac Gallen delivered another stellar performance, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 5-1 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night. Gallen pitched seven strong innings, allowing just one run on two hits and three walks while striking out six. This marked his longest outing of the season and the second time in a week he stifled the Mets’ potent offense.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. provided the offensive spark, hitting a two-run home run in the sixth inning that extended Arizona’s lead to 4-1. Josh Naylor also contributed, adding a sacrifice fly in the seventh and scoring two runs. Gurriel finished with three hits.

The Mets scored their lone run in the third inning when Pete Alonso walked with the bases loaded. Despite two hits from Francisco Alvarez, the Mets’ offense struggled against Gallen’s effective pitching. David Peterson, starting for the Mets, pitched six innings, giving up four runs on five hits and four walks.

New Diamondbacks closer Shelby Miller secured the win in the ninth, escaping a bases-loaded jam to close out the game. Both starting pitchers, Gallen and Peterson, exceeded 100 pitches, a rare occurrence this season. The series continues Wednesday with Kodai Senga pitching for the Mets and Merrill Kelly for the Diamondbacks.
