The Arizona slugger homered to the opposite field with one out in the ninth inning to give the Diamondbacks a 5-4 victory over the New York Mets Friday night. Goldschmidts 27th homer, his second game-winner of the year, came on a 1-1 pitch from Scott Atchison (2-1) after the Mets had rallied from a two-run deficit. "He got ahead with his slider and missed with a curveball," Goldschmidt said. "He threw another slider. Luckily it was up and I was able to hit it out of there." Atchison said it was just a bad pitch. "I threw him a good one on the first pitch he took and tried to duplicate that again," he said.

"It doesnt matter if its you hitting it or a teammate hitting it, you get an opportunity to win the game there in the ninth inning or extra innings or whatever it is, its a lot of fun. Hopefully we can do it a few more times." The Mets Justin Turner had three RBIs on two singles and a groundout, giving him 10 RBIs for the season.

Its a shame he didnt get the win. " Leading off the second, Byrd hit one deep to right centre, where the ball careened off the porch that extends a few feet over the field. The ball bounced all the way back to left centre. When left fielder Prado finally chased it down, Byrd was motoring around third. Prado fired to Aaron Hill, whose perfect relay home was just in time for the catcher Nieves to tag Byrd despite the Mets sluggers head-first slide. It would have been Byrds first career inside-the-park homer. Hill also threw out Juan Legares trying to stretch a double to a triple with a relay throw from right fielder Cody Ross to end the seventh. Arizona broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth after Hill singled and Ross doubled to put runners at second and third with no outs. Nieves doubled down the left-field line to bring both runners home, giving the Diamondbacks a 4-2 lead just as Corbin left the game. In the eighth, Bell gave up singles to Daniel Murphy, Byrd and Josh Satin to load the bases with no outs.
