“Mets Edge Padres 2-1 in Series Opener: J.D. Martinez’s Clutch Double and Edwin Díaz’s Save Lead New York to Victory”

In the opening game of a three-match series, the New York Mets edged past the San Diego Padres 2-1, thanks to a clutch two-run double from J.D. Martinez. After struggling early in the season, Martinez has found his rhythm, helping the Mets secure their seventh win in nine games. The match began with a 65-minute rain delay but quickly picked up pace, with Martinez’s hit in the third inning driving in the only runs the Mets would need to claim victory. Starting pitcher Sean Manaea delivered a solid performance, allowing just one run on four hits while striking out seven batters over five-plus innings.

Mets closer Edwin Díaz made a triumphant return after a stint on the injured list, successfully converting his first save opportunity since coming back. Despite allowing a leadoff single and a stolen base in the ninth inning, Díaz showed his resilience by striking out star hitter Manny Machado and escaping a tight jam. With this performance, he demonstrated that he is back to his dominant self, a welcome sight for a Mets team looking to build momentum as the season progresses. Meanwhile, Padres rookie Jackson Merrill provided a glimmer of hope for San Diego with a fifth-inning homer, but it wasn’t enough to secure the win as the Padres fell short.
