Arizona&#8217;s offense had scored just 2 runs in each of the 1st two games of the series. They surpassed that when Matt Williams hit a 2-run home run in the 1st inning. It was the 1st of three homers against David Cone, who allowed 8 runs on 8 hits in 5 2\/3 innings. The Mets used a 3-run 6th inning against Andy Benes to take a 6-5 lead. But in the bottom of the inning, Travis Lee hit a solo shot to tie it, and Luis Gonzalez hit a 2-run homer to put Arizona ahead to stay. Benes allowed 5 earned runs on 8 hits in 5 1\/3 innings. Overall, the Diamondbacks used 5 pitchers, with Matt Mantei pitching a perfect 9th for the save. The win keeps Arizona&#8217;s hopes alive. The teams will face off again tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/baseballmaelstrom.com\/STB90s\/Scoresheets\/09-04-2024_NYM_ARI.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"'90 Mets @ '99 Diamondbacks - 9\/4\/24\">&#8217;90 Mets @ &#8217;99 Diamondbacks &#8211; 9\/4\/24<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 1999 Arizona Diamondbacks showed up at home against the 1990 New York Mets, holding off elimination with a back-and-forth 9-7 win.
