Mets answer rally

Mets 6, Diamondbacks 4
Oliver Perez struck out seven D-backs in 5 1/3 innings on Wednesday. (Matt York/AP)
Oliver Perez walked six and gave up six hits in 5 1/3 innings vs. the D-backs, but he kept his team in the game, allowing just one run. The Mets rallied with three in the sixth, and Cory Sullivan's second triple of the game in the eighth iced a much-needed win in the finale of their road trip. Frankie Rodriguez earned his 25th save.
