Jesus Feliciano tripled and scored on Carlos Beltran's sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, giving the New York Mets a 5-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night.
David Wright drove in three runs, including a tying single in the seventh off Arizona newcomer D.J. Carrasco, and New York finally beat the last-place Diamondbacks for the first time in five meetings this season.
The Mets, conspicuously quiet at the trade deadline after falling off the playoff pace this month, got a stellar start from Hisanori Takahashi and won for only the sixth time in 20 games.
The rebuilding Diamondbacks, who made a flurry of deals leading up to Saturday's non-waiver deadline, have lost eight of nine. Justin Upton had three RBIs for Arizona and extended his hitting streak to a team-high 16 games.
