Mauricio lifts Mets over Diamondbacks 4-3 in 10 innings with pinch-hit single
in return to majors

NEW YORK (AP) --- Pinch-hitter Ronny Mauricio returned to the majors by lining
a game-winning single in the 10th inning that gave the New York Mets a 4-3
victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
New York (7-4) won its fourth straight game and improved to 2-2 in extra
innings already this season.
Mauricio, recalled Monday from Triple-A Syracuse when slugger Juan Soto was
placed on the injured list, laced an 0-2 pitch from Paul Sewald (0-2) over the
head of right fielder Corbin Carroll to drive in automatic runner Francisco
Lindor from third base with one out.
Mauricio threw off his helmet and ran into center field before being caught by
teammates, who mobbed him and doused him with water.
Luke Weaver (1-0) pitched a perfect 10th for the Mets, who played their third
straight extra-inning game at home. New York beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2 in
11 innings on March 28 and lost 4-3 in 10 innings the next day.
