J.D. Martinez blasted a go-ahead solo home run in the eighth inning as the New York Mets (23-33) snapped a three-game skid with a 3-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks (25-31) on Thursday night at Citi Field.
Ketel Marte gave Arizona a 2-0 lead in the third with a two-run double, but the Mets scored three straight and the bullpen locked it down to secure the win.
Francisco Lindor went 4-for-4 with his ninth home run of the season and a game-tying single.
Christian Scott surrendered two runs over five innings. Adrian Houser fired two scoreless before Danny Young and Reed Garrett combined to record the final six outs.
The Mets will try to make it two straight wins on Friday at 7:10 p.m. with Luis Severino on the hill.
