Solid Goldschmidt, Diamondbacks Take Game One Against Mets on Goldschmidt Walk-off
Patrick Corbin worked through command and control problems to pitch six innings of two-run baseball. The defense gunned down two wayward Mets that tried to take the extra base, one of them at third, the other at home. The Diamondbacks put together timely hitting, the last hit being the timeliest of all - a one out, bases empty, opposite field home run by Diamondbacks first baseman, Paul Goldschmidt. The win makes three in a row for the Arizona Diamondbacks who watched Tampa Bay squander a huge lead against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

However, Rodney threw 21 pitches, recording only one out, and surrendering four runs to let the Dodgers come from behind and win the game 7-6.
