PHOENIX — Forgive the Mets if they will miss playing the Diamondbacks the rest of the year.
They beat Arizona again Sunday, 6-2, to complete the teams’ season series. The Mets took four of the six games the past two weekends, a major boost to their five consecutive series wins — matching the 2018 club for the most to begin a season in franchise history.
Like the previous installments, the finale suggested that the D-backs (6-10) perhaps will not be postseason contenders. They had a lineup that featured two players hitting above .220, committed three errors and allowed two runs in a pseudo-rally that included just one hit.
