Mets Sweep D’Backs

PHOENIX (AP) — Dillon Gee allowed three hits in seven scoreless innings, and the New York Mets beat Arizona 5-2 Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep and send the Diamondbacks to their sixth straight loss.

Arizona finished an 0-6 homestand and dropped to 1-11 at Chase Field. At 4-14, the Diamondbacks are off to their worst 18-game start.

Gee (1-0) retired his first 14 batters, struck out three, walked none and threw 72 pitches. He also had an RBI groundout.

Anthony Recker hit a solo homer off Brandon McCarthy. Two errors led to the final two Mets runs in the ninth.

McCarthy (0-3) gave up three runs, nine hits and three walks — two intentional — in 5 2-3 innings.

Aaron Hill and Paul Goldschmidt homered off Jose Valverde in the ninth.
