The Mets vs Diamondbacks rivalry continues to offer thrilling moments for MLB fans. In 2025, their regular season series delivers a fresh set of storylines, standout performances, and playoff implications. Whether you follow from Arizona or New York, there’s plenty to analyze in this tightly contested matchup.

Series Overview: A Battle in the Desert

The New York Mets wrapped up a challenging road trip with a three-game set against the Arizona Diamondbacks. After splitting a series with Arizona at home earlier in the month, the Mets headed to Chase Field looking for redemption.

According to Amazin' Avenue's series preview, the Mets have historically fared well at Chase Field, posting a 9-3 record in Arizona since 2021. This streak continued to play a psychological role, hinting at a potential upper hand for the Mets.

Key Game Highlights & Player Performances

The opening game of the series set the tone. In a high-energy contest, both teams exchanged leads, but the Mets outlasted the Diamondbacks with crucial hits from Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor. Alonso’s power was on full display, while Lindor delivered a three-run homer in a critical moment. The Mets’ bullpen nearly lost a late lead, but they secured a tight 5-4 win.

Ryne Nelson, making a spot start for Arizona, managed to limit damage early but struggled with control. As reported by AZ Snake Pit, Nelson’s walks came back to haunt the D-backs. His decision to pitch around Juan Soto twice—walking him in favor of facing Pete Alonso—played into the Mets’ hands. The result was a momentum-shifting Alonso homer.

For Arizona, Corbin Carroll's bat came alive with his tenth home run, providing an early spark. Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suarez contributed timely hits, but base-running decisions and double plays cost valuable opportunities.
